Bus/Financial - Human Resources / Social Plan

German term or phrase: zumutbar

In dem Sozialplan geht es um das Angebot anderer Arbeitsplätze im selben Unternehmen im Zuge einer Betriebsänderung. Die Höhe der Abfindung hängt davon ab, ob es sich bei dem angebotenen anderen Arbeitsplatz um einen
- gleichwertigen
- ***zumutbaren***
- nicht zumutbaren
Arbeitsplatz handelt.

Meine Online-Suche ergab "reasonable". Ist das hier richtig?
