Hi, my company is tranferring administration of its business to another company. This other company is now only taking about 50% of staff with them. The rest are being made redundant. I do not wish to transfer, but am happy to help with the transition of some specialized projects for a month or two to ensure it goes smoothly (not my normal role). I was happy if they made me redundant then the new company put me on a contract for those projects. My original company is trying to negotiate it so that I go on 'secondment' there instead (its going to be less than 3 months). My concerns are that 1. I wont end up getting redundancy, as by the time the secondment ends there will be less than 15 employees in the company (I will likely be the only one). 2. That if they want to keep extending the secondment I have no choice and unlikely to get redundancy. 3. The company will go into liquidation by then and not have the funds for redundancy.
Do I have any options here? Are there any benefits to me for a secondment rather than getting a redundancy and then going on a contract to help with these projects?
Further info: I have been there 7 years so redundancy would be a large figure.
