VerifiedGood Afternoon
It is a difficult question to answer as they are putting you in a position that is still senior.
I suspect it would be seen a reasonable deployment and if you chose not to accept it it may be seen as a resignation.
Here is some information about what reasonable redeployment means as decided by the full bench of Fair Work Australia
http://www.mst.com.au/library_news.php?Reasonable-redeployment---A-hurdle-to-genuine-redundancy-367
The above case will explain things more to you on what the law sees as reasonable redeployment.
I hope this is of assistance and if so please click on the accept button
