Settlement agreements services for employees

We’ll start with a phone call to gather the details of your situation and provide preliminary advice based on the settlement agreement offered by your employer.

We provide you with detailed written guidance, explaining the terms of the settlement agreement, including any financial settlement, restrictive covenants, and other key clauses.

We’ll arrange for you to visit our offices to sign the agreement, ensuring that all legal formalities are properly completed.

We will handle sending the signed documents to your employer, ensuring a smooth and timely exchange of paperwork.

After finalising the agreement, we will issue an invoice and provide your employer with a concluding letter, along with instructions for completion.

We conclude the process by sending you a final correspondence, ensuring that all matters have been fully resolved and offering any further support if needed.

When your role is no longer needed, and your employer offers a financial package to avoid redundancy claims.

If the employment relationship has broken down, and both parties agree that it’s time to part ways.

Where ongoing issues have led to discussions about termination, but both sides want to avoid the formal disciplinary route.

When a business undergoes structural changes that lead to role eliminations or shifts in job functions.

This specifies the last day of your employment. It’s essential to ensure that the date reflects any outstanding holiday pay or notice period you’re entitled to.

This is usually the main attraction of a settlement agreement. It may include redundancy pay, compensation for loss of employment, and any outstanding payments such as bonuses or commission. The amount offered will vary depending on the circumstances, and we can help ensure that the offer reflects your legal entitlements.

These clauses prevent you from discussing the details of the agreement or the circumstances of your departure with others, particularly future employers or colleagues. While these are standard, they should not prevent you from disclosing key information to your family, legal advisors, or regulatory authorities. We’ll help you understand exactly what you can and cannot say.

Often referred to as restrictive covenants, these are clauses that limit what you can do after leaving your employer. They may prevent you from working for a competitor or contacting former clients or colleagues for a set period. It’s crucial to review these carefully, as they can have a significant impact on your career. If your settlement agreement includes garden leave – a period where you’re still employed but not required to work – it’s important to ensure you understand your rights and responsibilities during this time.

Settlement agreements often include clauses that require you to keep certain information confidential, including trade secrets or company information. These clauses can impact your ability to work in the same sector or role, depending on the specifics. Our employment solicitors with expertise in settlement agreement will explain these terms clearly, ensuring you are aware of any limitations and how they may affect future employment opportunities.
