I have been working at a charity for the past 7 years. My job has changed but not my job description or pay. Yesterday I was advised that my position is redundant and no longer required. I was told the organization is making a new position and I am more then welcomed to apply for this position if I feel that I meet the requirements. I read the posting and all the duties are the ones I perform now with the exception of one. The one thing they are asking for is experience with T-SQL which I don't have. I wanted to know how this will impact me. If I apply and if not what are my rights? If I get the job what can possibly happen.

If you don't get the job, your employment will be terminated. This means that you would be owed severance. You do not have the legal obligation to apply. Depending on your age and the nature of your current job, you would be owed anywhere from 6 - 12 months of severance. Should your employment be terminated, it is very important that you give me a call to discuss this.
