What are the different levels of Redeployee and when do these apply?

There are two stages of redeployment status; these are Potential Redeployee and Redeployee:

Potential Redeployee - This is where it has been agreed that a post could be affected by the change programme but there are options available of other posts as part of the ring-fencing arrangements or potential redeployment opportunities due to the length of the change programme. 

Redeployee – This is where the employee is displaced and their post no longer exists within the new structure, location or future plan.  This normally occurs when the final decisions document has been produced following the end of the collective consultation in case there are any changes to the original proposals.  However, it may be agreed earlier where this is beneficial to the employee affected owing to the short timescale and scope of the change.

The stage that applies to you will be agreed as part of the consultation process and you will be notified of what this means to you when you are placed on the redeployment register and in subsequent presentations or one to one meetings.

If you are placed on the redeployment register for reasons other than organisational change, you will be informed of the appropriate stage that applies in your circumstances.

If you have Redeployee status, you will have first priority for posts. If you have Potential Redeployee status, you have priority for posts but will be considered after anyone with Redeployee status.
