Unfair Dismissal/Risk of redundancy

[bankrupt idiot]

Hello all,

 

I was wondering if anyone has any pointers on the following?

 

As of today 1st July I have been informed that I am at risk of redundancy. The reasons being are to do with a restructure. I am a Service Delivery Manager who currently manages a team of IT engineers in two areas, with a Supervisor who manages the IT Service Desk reporting to me as well. Today I was shown an org chart without me on it by my Manager the Head of UK IT. He said you probably notice that you are not on this and that we no longer need your role. Essentially the IT Service Desk will report to him and a new role of IT Infrastructure Supervisor has been created at a lower grade and pay which also reports to him with my engineers reporting into that post. Whats more as of today a contractor that works for me has become a full time employee and is also reporting to the head of IT with a different job title, but about 75% of my existing job in his responsibilities. Our team is being outsourced and he will manage the client side of the contract, where as I manage the team as inhouse.

 

Does anyone think I have a case of unfair dismissal?

Hi,

 

Would you care to let us know what procedure has your employer followed so far?

 

Apart from that 'at risk' letter... are you aware of any other steps your employer intends to take to deal with your possible redundancy?

Someone willing to do your job for lower pay, in this climate Business needs must. Its the nature of the beast I'm afraid.

 

Take a nice pay off and take your skills to another company.
