Refused Voluntary Redundancy

.......

But your role was not made redundant, you would have just resigned. So I cannot see how you would be receiving redundancy payments when you voluntarily resign.

There may be a question over the fairness of how people were selected for Redundancy.

You would be refused because your role was important for the company but if your vacant role is not filled, this might mean that the role was ready to be made redundant?

That the company can muddle along with no-one in the role doesn't mean the role is redundant - it is vacant because of a hiring freeze.
