Would the employer still be able to make redundancies even though there may be a possibility of a secondment?
Before making redundancies it is good practice for an employer to consider ways in which it can avoid making redundancies. That might include considering whether an employee can be seconded out. However, there may be very good business or financial reasons why seconding out an employee does not make sense for the employer at a particular time. Since the “play together” initiative is an entirely voluntary arrangement, TIGA believes participating companies should not be required to second an employee where it is not in their best interests to do so.
