To be fair Gnads , I think they were just discussing how other people would go about things.

Redundancy.

Make the full-time position redundant, pay out all redundancy entitlements, and then offer the employee a new contract as a part-time worker.


The thing about redundancy though is that if you don't want the person but need the position filled full-time and then declare the position redundant (remember it is positions that are declared redundant) you might have problems in justifying filling the position again.  And, if you are successful in filling the position, it could call in to question the original decision to declare it redundant.

Restructures, or partial restructures, are a much safer way of weeding out dead wood.  You just have to be careful who you select to do the interviewing...

Sure God created man before woman. But then you always make a rough draft before the final masterpiece.

The discussion was about changing an employee from full-time to part-time, though.

The full-time position is made redundant, and then a new part-time position is created.

The old full-time position isn't being filled: the new part-time one is.
