i am being made redundant

[sandy1956]

how long is it before a company can legaly fill my job role after my self and my job have been made redundant

Why- do you suspect the redundancy is just a ruse to replace you? I am sure this happens but employers would normally be careful to change the role level slightly

The technically correct answer to this question is 3 months. That is simply because a case being brought to an Employment Tribunal for unfair dismissal must be initiated within 3 months of the dismissal. So after 3 months, the company knows it is in the clear, in that employee has no potential claim on the employer.
Not good practice to be declaring redundancies then claiming business has picked up again. However I've known the technique to be used in cases of genuinely useless staff for whom the employer can't be arrissed to go down the disciplinary route.
