    Hi, the team I work in is relocating to another office 50 miles away. We have been offered relocation or if not we can take redundancy. The consultation period started 3 days ago and on the same day the company were advertising our jobs on their internal and external websites. I believe they should not be doing this as at this moment in time, until we decide if we are relocating there are no jobs available. We have been told they are doing this as a contingency. Can we insist the adverts are removed because they are doing this Illegally and can't advertise until our 30 day consultation period is up and if they don't can we raise a grievance with the company. Also the jobs titles are different to the ones we currently have to bring us in line with the office we are moving to. If it just a relocation as we are being told surely our job titles should remain the same as should our terms and salary.

    Job titles different, so how are they your jobs?

      If your employer considers that it's possible that some of you may not wish to travel a further 50 miles; advertising for replacements is a sensible contingency. It's not illegal. So, unless they employ replacements and then inform you that your jobs are no longer available, you have no grounds for a grievance.

      A change to a job title doesn't matter. For example,at one workplace a role could be called Catering Assistant and at another Food Service Assistant. It's still the same job, merely relabelled.

        Hi, the job titles we have now are different to the ones that are being advertised, even though they are saying they are our jobs if we want to relocate. If it is just a relocation and not a re-stucture can they just change our job titles.

          Yes, its just their way of protecting themselves.

            Yes they can. Your employer is just protecting its interests as pointed out in above post. Advertising the jobs would be to secure their workforce in the event that several of you decided to take redundancy. It would only be your job advertised if you were told that you had to re apply for your own job.
