One of two roles being made redundant

[Dido1978]

Hi and thanks for reading, I appreciate any advice.

I am one of two employees being made redundant as there is now only one role available.

Can two people be measured against the same matrix if one is more senior and are on considerably more money.

I was brought in on what was described as a junior position and so accepted the lower salary, however HR have told me we have exactly the same job description and will be evaluated on the same matrix even though the other person has been given more responsibility.

My feeling is that salary doesn’t matter it’s the role description that counts. Even though we do different things in role.

Thanks

The selection pool should inlcude all roles that are the same or similar which I presume is why both of you have been informed that you are at risk of redundancy. The similar roles are then assessed against criteria that should be as objective and measurable as possible and I have not seen selection criteria that has included salary.

Hope this helps but if you have any further questions as the process continues then just come back to this thread.
