Redeployment
3 Answers
What is the period of time that a company has to offer redeployment?
My husband should get 3 months notice, he was told he was bing made redundant yesterday. When would that notice period kick in?
Another job in the northwest has been mentioned but he knows this job has already been offered to someone else, he is going to say he will take it when he meets with his boss today, is this likely to cause complications?

There is no set (statutory) period for a redundancy consultation unless more than 20 employees are impacted over a 90-day period and collective bargaining rights apply.
However the employer must operate a fair process. In assessing the fairness, an ET would look at the scale and complexity of the process, but 30 days is probably typical. It must include enough time for individual discussion to occur with each person impacted.
Yesterday SHOULD have been the start of the consultation process from what you say. During the process, it should emerge when specific individual's employment will end. It does NOT have to be everyone at the same date. For example, if volunteers are sought, it is perfectly feasible that they get dealt with first and leave first.
During the consultation, your husband must receive written confirmation of what his situation is (redundant or not) and when it applies from. That date is the date from which the notice period (or money in lieu of notice) would have to be paid.

Thank you so much for your prompt reply Buildersmate. Apparently there are three people going for the one job in the Northwest, only two of whom are facing redundancy. They will each be asked to do a presentation but from what my husband has been told by a reliable source it has already been stitched up. Oh well, ever onward ever upward.
You must be sick of answering redundancy related questions at the moment though , once again many thanks
