# REDEPLOYMENT OFFER LETTER
Date: 7 June 2032
Parties: Harbourline Logistics Ltd and Mei Wong
## 1. Purpose and parties
Harbourline Logistics Ltd offers Mei Wong, currently Warehouse Planning Manager at its Southampton depot, a Logistics Systems Manager role at its Portsmouth site from 1 August 2032. The offer follows consultation about a proposed redundancy because the Southampton planning function is closing. No final redundancy dismissal decision has been made.
## 2. Facts, scope and terms
The offered role is permanent, reports to the Operations Director and has the same 37.5-hour working week. Its salary is £48,500 a year, compared with Mei's current £50,000; pension, private medical cover, annual leave of 28 days plus bank holidays and continuous service from 11 January 2024 continue. The commute is 18 miles rather than 7 miles, with no relocation requirement.
## 3. Process and responsibilities
The new role uses Mei's planning and systems experience but includes responsibility for a £1.2 million warehouse-management implementation and four analysts. Harbourline will provide training worth up to £2,000 and reasonable travel expenses for the first eight weeks. The proposed start date is subject to completing consultation and agreeing the written variation.
## 4. Evidence, records and safeguards
Harbourline offers a statutory four-week trial beginning 1 August, with objectives agreed in writing by 22 July and weekly meetings. Either party may end the trial early by written notice. If the role proves unsuitable for a reason connected with the redundancy situation and Mei has acted reasonably, Harbourline will consider the original redundancy position and will not treat the trial itself as misconduct.
## 5. Review, escalation and outcome
Mei should consider the duties, location and £1,500 annual salary reduction carefully and may ask questions or propose alternatives. She may be accompanied at a consultation meeting on 15 June by a colleague or trade-union representative. Acceptance by 24 June is requested so that training and handover can be planned; silence is not acceptance.
## 6. Reservations and practical protections
If Mei unreasonably refuses suitable alternative employment, statutory redundancy-pay consequences may arise, but Harbourline will assess suitability and reasonableness on the actual facts rather than assume them. A refusal does not waive consultation rights. If no agreement is reached, the company will confirm the outcome, notice position and any redundancy payment calculation separately.
## 7. England and Wales law and completion
This completed fictional offer is dated 7 June 2032 and concerns England and Wales. It is not a contract until signed by both parties, does not vary Mei's terms today, and does not guarantee that redundancy will be avoided. Harbourline will keep consultation notes, equality considerations and the written offer, and will provide a final statement of terms if Mei accepts.
