I am on a Tier 2 visa working for an aerospace company.

Thank you.

In which case, you have full employment rights in UK law and your company need to properly consult with you as to any possible redundancy and see if they can accommadate you elsewhere within the company.

I would speak to ACAS, which is an independent body set up to advise employee and can also approach your employer to offer conciliation services. Their number is *****(###) ###-####and website is www.acas.org.uk

In terms of your options, you would need to see what other role is offered by your company and ensure the company follows the procedure to consult with you properly. If they fail to do this, they could be breaking the law. If you do obtain another role and the terms are not as favourable, you would need to know why to ensure there is no discrimination going on in the workplace. Alternatively your current employers might let you look for other work in a sponsored role (if employees are at risk or faced with redundancy, the current employers may well let the employees take time off work to go to interviews). I would keep a record of everything (unless you already do this) so that if it did not turn out as you hoped, you can seek legal advice regarding a potential employment tribunal claim.

I hope this helps. If you can accept the answer and give me a star rating, I can offer unlimited follow up Q&A's at no extra charge.

Kind regards,

OK, you can say that you have worked there for several years and you had had an excellent performance review. Therefore you can say you are an asset to the company and you want to stay there, preferably in the same or a better role.

If they want to change your job, you can ask for the reasons and what the new job specification would look like, together with renumeration and other aspects.

You can say that you will take legal advice upon your options as you do not want to end up in a worse position or have to leave. If you are a member of a trade union you can involve them. If not, you can instruct a UK law firm which deals with employment law to write to your employers if they offer you less favorable terms.

You can also say that you have full employment rights, having been there for years. If they are to go through a redundancy procedure, you need to be properly consulted and all other options considered, for example to be reallocated to different side of the firm. You can ask whether other employees are being similarly affected - if not then ask why not. They have to be careful not to discriminate against you.

Let me know how it goes after the meeting - I will be available later

Kind regards,

Jim

Hi again, if they change your role they are effectively offering you a new contract. It is not an ideal situation to be in. You ideally want a structured career path and it seems like they are trying to hide something or persuade you to accept an inferior role.

I would give ACAS a call to obtain their advice and they be able to become involved with your employer

Do you have their contact details? Their number is *****(###) ###-####or www.acas.org.uk

Let me know if I can help further - if you can accept the answer and give me a star rating, I can offer unlimited follow up Q&A's at no extra cost

Kind regards,
