S1E73 - Redundancy and the alternative trial work period

Are employees always entitled to the four week trial period in redundancy alternative work situations?

The four-week trial period that operates when an employee is offered alternative work in a redundancy exercise is well-known. But it is also widely misunderstood. The reality is that in most cases where an employee at risk of redundancy is offered alternative work, the trial period will not apply. In that case employers will have to think very carefully about what happens if the new role does not work out.
