Coronavirus: Your workplace questions

At this difficult time, we'd like to offer people managers (and others) who are not CIPD Members an opportunity to ask questions about their specific workplace challenges.

We hope that collectively, the Community will feel able to chip in with guidance and signpost support and resources where these exist.

Thank you.

  • Hello, I'd like some advice for a relative. She's a speech & language therapy assistant working for the NHS in the schools community and was redeployed to work as a healthcare assistant on a mixed covid/non-covid ward. She found out through a colleague that they are all returning to their normal roles apart from herself and another colleague. She's asked to know how and why the decision was made but no one has responded, or when she will be able to return to her usual role. They were also promised a pay rise which didn't materialise so she's feeling understandably disheartened. It's very difficult to find information from the employee's point of view, but is she able to refuse to continue with the redeployment? Many thanks.
