I was asked a hypathetical question today by an old colleage from a previous job because the guy was extremely worried about his job as he can see things are changing although I have to say this has not happened yet.
The company who he works for is based in London in Sales, the company now have a head office in the Midlands, they are gradually moving accross some staff to the Midlands so far just Accounts staff and now some other jobs as well. He has told me that he does not want to go to the Midlands, he has been with them for 14 years and prefers to stay in London. He is nerveous that if they say his job is moving to the Midlands that he will not get redundancy.
I felt that they could not make this a compulsory move and that if he did not want to go he should receive rendundancy. But because I am not exactly expert on Employment law I wondered if someone could advise?
Thanks
