I’ve been having informal conversations with my manager about role scope. About 3 years ago my role scope was reduced without formal process; about half my direct reports and areas I were responsible for was moved to someone else. More recently we’ve had further conversations about for the functions within my remit moving elsewhere…. My role would still exist, but with probably half or less of the scope that I was originally employed for.. Should I qualify for redundancy?

I am sorry to hear about this. It depends. If your employer believes that a redundancy is necessary, they will have to:

  • follow their internal  a redundancy policy, it may be a good idea to ask for such a policy so that you know if your redundancy is expected;
  • a collective agreement with a trade union (if there is one)

They will then have to follow a fair redundancy process which usually includes:

  • consulting staff; or
  • collectively consulting staff if more than 20 are at risk of redundancy.

It may be best to ask this question in writing addressed to your HR.
