Confirmation That Your Role Is No Longer at Risk of Redundancy
Further to our recent discussions and the consultation process concerning the proposed organisational changes, I am writing to confirm the outcome of the review relating to your role as [Job Title].
Following consideration of the proposals, the information discussed during consultation and the options available to the business, we have decided that your role is no longer at risk of redundancy under the current proposals.
Reason for the decision

A role no longer at risk of redundancy letter provides formal written confirmation that an employer has decided not to proceed with the proposed redundancy of an employee's role. It is an important communication following a period of uncertainty, particularly where the employee has attended consultation meetings or been provisionally identified as potentially redundant.
The letter should state unambiguously that the employee's role is no longer at risk of redundancy under the proposals being considered. Where appropriate, it should explain whether the decision follows employee feedback, a change in business requirements, revised staffing plans, the availability of alternatives or another relevant development. The explanation should be accurate and consistent with the decision actually made.
Being told that a role may be made redundant can cause considerable uncertainty. A clear outcome letter helps bring that uncertainty to an end and confirms what happens next. Where accurate, the employer can reassure the employee that their employment continues and that their job title, duties, pay, hours and other contractual terms remain unchanged.
Employers should retain a record of the decision and the reasons for it, particularly where the outcome follows consultation or a review of proposed redundancies. If the organisation is continuing to restructure or other employees remain at risk, the letter should distinguish the employee's individual outcome from any wider proposals that remain unresolved.
The letter should be professional, straightforward and considerate. It should invite the employee to raise any questions and identify any further steps, such as a meeting to discuss revised team arrangements. A written confirmation provides clarity for the employee and a useful record for HR, while supporting trust and confidence following a period of uncertainty.

Issue the letter once the employer has made and authorised a clear decision that the employee's role is no longer at risk under the proposals being considered. Communicate the outcome promptly so the employee is not left in unnecessary uncertainty.
No. It confirms the outcome for the individual employee or role covered by the letter. The employer may still be consulting with other employees or considering other organisational changes. The letter should distinguish the employee's individual outcome from any wider process that remains ongoing.
Yes, where appropriate. A concise explanation might refer to revised business requirements, changes to the proposed structure, consultation feedback or an alternative solution. The explanation should be accurate, consistent with the decision and should not disclose confidential information about other employees.
Yes, if that is correct. It can confirm that the employee's job title, duties, pay, working hours and other contractual terms remain unchanged. If separate changes are planned, explain that these will be addressed through the appropriate process rather than implying that everything remains the same.
A later, genuinely new business situation may lead an employer to consider redundancy proposals again, but the employer must assess the circumstances and follow the appropriate process. The original letter should accurately confirm the decision made at that time and should not include unnecessarily broad wording that undermines the reassurance being given.
