The following new questions have been added:
If I’ve been furloughed does this mean that my role is redundant?
No, this is a temporary measure to enable the University to recover significant staff costs and in no way reflects on the individuals in question and the value of what they are able to contribute in more normal times.
Does this mean I’m more likely to be made redundant in the future?
No. If there is a need to make posts redundant at any point, these decisions will be made on the future needs of our University and not on whether your role was furloughed or not.
