Hi -- Not totally in the know on employment contract law as it can be a minefield of differing regulations, I would however suggest you take matters to your local CAB. For an employer to justify what is happening to you they have to show that it is the position that they are making redundant, in that the same position has come to a final end and the position will no longer exist.

What they are proposing will not be a true redundancy, if their intention is to set on another person to fulfill the same role that was supposed to be terminated, especially if the company is legally bound to employ a person to the position that you were appointed.

Sorry to be a pain, but on Tuesday I was told my job is at risk of redundancy.

I should know in a couple of weeks, anyway I asked for a copy of my job description and my contract of employment (started over 11 years ago and I cant ind it).

Anyway I got sent a copy of my contract, but they dont have a job description for my role. Is that possible? and can they make a position redundant if they dont know what I do?

Finally if they make my role redundant can they give my duties to another person within the company to do? they reason i ask is that by law i have certain thisngs i must do in order for our company to operate. If i dont do them they the company is breaking H&S laws.

Hope you can help
