  • Notice of Redundancy & Advice Required Please

    Hi

    Firstly this forum is great and has helped me in the past so here goes again.....

    OK so my employer called all 100ish staff from the particular department I work in - to a meeting last Friday to inform them that they were putting us under Notice of Redundancy commencing Monday this week and that would be the start of the consultation period (for 30 or 45 days depending on actual numbers involved).

    The reason is that our "customer" has had their budgets cut and so there is no money to pay for our services any longer !! (well almost - we are a private ambulance company who provides front line vehicles and staff to NHS ambulance trusts - we supplied 20 crewed vehicles per day and they now only require 6 per day)

    All the above is fine..... I really have no issues with that but here is the issue.......

    Colleagues of mine who were employed in lets say "Location A" have just 2 weeks ago completed the redundancy process for "Location A" after another NHS trust pulled the budget in that area and so they went through the consultation and redundancy process and some of these colleagues moved/transferred to "Location B" where I am based.

    Now that there is not enough work for us in "Location B" my employer has been asked by the NHS Ambulance trust that covers "Location A" to provide extra vehicles and staff to cover demand !! (clearly they have realised that cutting our services has cost them and increased their workload)

    My question is as the staff in "Location A" went through redundancy can they be asked to go back and cover shifts in "Location A" ??? surely they are doing the same job and being employed in the same position that they have been made redundant from ???

    I hope the above is easy to understand and look forward to your responses

    Regards
