I'm on maternity leave until Sept 2013 and have been advised I have been selected for redundancy which will take effect in Dec 2013. I was chosen from a group of 4 using a skills matrix which was weighted negatively for me, as I have the most experience within the group. A new computer system means our jobs are amalgamating and effectively creating 3 new roles but taking away our 4 current job roles. My question is, should I have automatically been offered one of the 'new roles' if I was suitable for it under the 'protected characteristics' of being made redundant whilst on maternity leave or does the fact that it doesn't take effect until December mean the maternity laws do not apply.
Thank you to anyone who can offer a legal point of view.
