Can I be asked to drop my hours to avoid redundancy?

Question

Accepted Answer

In some situations (e.g. genuine financial, commercial or economic problems, or genuine restructuring of the business), cutting back on your hours may be offered as an alternative to redundancy. The employer has to follow the usual process for organisational change, which includes giving you a fair opportunity to consider and respond to the proposed change.
If you think the change to your hours is disadvantaging you and that your employer's process was unfair, or there were no genuine reasons for changing the hours of work, you should first try to resolve the issue with your employer.
