When an employee’s position has been made redundant, an employer may consider transferring the employee to a different position within the business. This is referred to as redeployment.

If an employee, whose position is being made redundant, can in fact be redeployed to another position within the business, there may be an obligation on the employer to make arrangements for redeployment.

Redeployment is more common in larger organisations that employ 50+ employees.
