I am a department head for a company that has just been purchased. I have been offered a role with similar responsibilities, however I would be responsible for a region, rather than national as I was previously, as they have someone in that position already.
I have been offered a payrise to keep me happy. I will have a similar number of direct reports under me. I have been told I can report directly to a Director (for 6 months then reviewed), but this could end with me reporting into someone in my current position.
I still view this as a demotion. If I was to push it, legally would I be entitled to a redundancy if I do not want the position?

Maybe.

Is your prior service being counted?

You probably need a lawyer to go through the detail as it may be touch and go if the answer to my above question is yes.
