What responsibilities are there to consider people who need to be redeployed because they are coming to the end of a fixed term contract or otherwise at risk of redundancy?
The University has a legal and moral obligation to give every opportunity for individuals who are at risk of redundancy to obtain suitable alternative employment with the University. Effective redeployment also retains valuable skills and knowledge within the University. The University’s Redeployment of Staff policy outlines the procedures that have been put in place to enable this. There is a ‘local’ process that you will need to go through before submitting the vacancy to Personnel Services for wider advertising and your department and Faculty/ Division will have a system for quickly identifying and considering any local redeployment candidates. The policy also outlines how any redeployment candidates from other parts of the University should be considered when a vacancy has been advertised. Your Faculty Personnel Manager can also provide advice on this process.
