Redundancy, Redeployment and Retrenchment

If your position is changing you have the right to a fair and transparent process where you are given an opportunity to be retained in employment. If you are moving to a different position to the one you currently hold it should be a directly comparable position, which should be at the same level, does not involve a
significant change in duties that is unreasonable when considering your skills and abilities.
