Sarah has worked for a company for ten years, they have always been impressed with her work & commitment, she now runs a small department & is earning ?25,000 per year.
The directors are talking about restructuring which means merging two departments, they are thinking of letting a woman who currently runs sales to also run contracts (sarah's dept) which means Sarah's job will become clerical which pays only ?16000 per year, she cannot afford a job that pays so low.
Will Sarah be entitled to redundancy or can they argue that they've offered her another position albeit on a vastly reduced salary?
As I say it is hypothetical at the moment but better to be prepared.
Thanks.
