Currently our Employment Law services are limited to advice about Settlement Agreements.
Settlement Agreement: the most common reason for the involvement of a solicitor in an employment matter is the ending of employment. It may be that you, as the employer, need to make redundancies or that you, as the employee, are being made redundant. Alternatively, a dispute between employer and employee may be resolved by the employer and employee parting company. Whatever the cause of the end of the employer/employee relationship, it is often formally ended by what is termed a "Settlement Agreement". This is an agreement which severs, for the most part, the employer/employee relationship. Under such an agreement, the employee is giving something "extra", usually money, beyond what he/she is entitled to, in return for giving up almost all of his/her rights in respect of his/her employment. An employee who signs a Settlement Agreement must have legal advice regarding the implications of such an agreement.
