Anyone know if a company makes staff redundant they can not re-recruite into that position without offering the job back to the redundant personel first? OR is there a time limit on it?
It's the position that is made redundant. If after the redundancies are made, something happens that was not known beforehand, and the company needs to employ into these positions then the people that were made redundant have no automatic rite to those positions.
TUPE (from experience) gives greater rites and protection to those that are transferred in to the company that has taken over than those already in it.
Our matrix was made up of numerous things that we scored points on, qualifications, sickness, interview for our job scores! and probably some more that I didn't know about. It's not a nice process to be involved in that's for sure.
