I have heard today that my company is outsourcing my role and that of 20+ colleagues offshore. They are offering relocation (unlikely as the Indian Subcontinent doesn't appeal) but if relocation is not taken up, they refuse to offer redundancy. Instead they are offering an option to resign with a severance package. This raises questions over Job Seekers Allowance, Income Protection etc. They have categorically said that the are BOUND by TUPE to follow this course; my initial research has found otherwise.
Can someone with better experience / knowledge help please as I would to answer "neither" to the offer of relocation and resignation and see what they then come back with and even investigate whether this may amount to constructive dismissal.
