At-risk, also known as ‘Redeployment’, refers to someone who is at risk of redundancy as a result of going through an organisational change process; this is usually identified after a consultation process.
Someone is usually at-risk because the role they are employed for is no longer required. During the organisational change process, they will be informed that they are at-risk and the organisation will attempt to identify 'Suitable Alternative Employment' (SAE). If this is not possible, they may;
- be 'given notice' of redundance,
- be entitled to a redundancy payment.
Should you have a query in regards to an At-risk status, you should contact your local NHS England (NHSE) Human Resources and Organisation Development (HR and OD) team.
