Supernumerary entangled repick process. Take grave care.

[Postee2]

In general, employment law in the UK requires that employers follow a fair and transparent process when making decisions about employment, including decisions related to recruitment, selection, and realignment. When it comes to a repick or realignment process within a large employer, it is important that the employer follows these rules of fairness to ensure that all employees are treated fairly and equitably.

If an employer is looking to realign or repick a team, it is important that the employer provides a clear and transparent process for selecting employees. The employer must be clear about the criteria that will be used to make the selection, and must provide employees with an opportunity to make their case for why they should be selected.

Under UK employment law, an employer can deem an employee as a supernumerary if there is a genuine redundancy situation. This means that the employer no longer requires the employee's work to be done by anyone and can terminate their employment. However, before doing so, the employer must follow a fair and transparent process, which includes consulting with the employee and offering them alternative employment, if possible. Failure to follow the proper procedure can result in an unfair dismissal claim being brought against the employer.

The rules of fairness require that employers take several steps to ensure that the selection process is fair and equitable. These steps include:

Providing a clear and transparent selection process: The employer should clearly communicate the criteria that will be used to make the selection, and provide employees with an opportunity to make their case for why they should be selected.

Avoiding discrimination: The employer must avoid any form of discrimination in the selection process, including discrimination based on age, race, gender, religion, or other protected characteristics.

Giving notice: The employer must give employees adequate notice of the selection process and the criteria that will be used to make the selection.

Offering support: The employer must offer support to employees who are not selected, including offering them alternative employment, if possible.

In summary, UK employment law requires that employers follow a fair and transparent process when making decisions about employment, including decisions related to recruitment, selection, and realignment. If an employer deems an employee as supernumerary, there must be a genuine redundancy situation and the employer must follow a fair and transparent process. The rules of fairness require that employers provide a clear and transparent selection process, avoid discrimination, give notice, and offer support to employees who are not selected.

If you have become a supernumerary because of realignment and don't want to except the VR package. Can Royal Mail force you to go onto another shift EG lates or nights if you don't want to move?

Hello there. We have had the realignment in my mail centre, with the result that most of the people refused the duties that were offered and are now supernumerary as I am. Would you be able to let me know what acts of Parliament, or employment law or otherwise you have as your source for this information as I have tried looking into it to no avail. All I have is law and rules that apply to NHS workers and those employed in the maritime industry. Many thanks for your help.

According to ACAS the employer should have a Supernumery policy in place and they are obliged to show you it in writing if you request it.
