CASE STUDY
Settlement Agreement help and advice
With no prior warning, my
client was presented
with a Settlement Agreement. She was told to leave the office
immediately, that she was to be dismissed and that she would work out
her notice on
'garden
leave'.
The Employer told her that there were issues with her conduct, but this
was never an issue that had been raised with my client previously.
She
came to see me so that I could advise her on
the
Settlement Agreement but also to discuss her options with regards to the
settlement sum being offered. She had already decided that she wanted to
accept the Agreement
as she did not want
to continue working with her Employer because of the way she had been
treated. We had a useful discussion of the issues including all the options available to her and what potential claims she might have. I advised her on the implications of the Settlement Agreement and on what changes would need to be made to it.
My
client remained of the view that she wanted a clean break from her
Employer and wanted to accept the Settlement Agreement.
I advised that
that we had to ensure that
she was given all the sums due to her on the termination of her
employment and that the Agreement gave her
certain protections.
We agreed that it would
ideally
have to be for a higher settlement sum.
I contacted the Employer and notified them of
the position. Following this, I engaged
in settlement negotiations with them and
after some discussion and negotiation,
the Employer agreed to double the settlement sum being paid to my
client. A very good result!
By
being able to deal with the Settlement Agreement swiftly and thoroughly,
I was able to help
my
client resolve the matter quickly, avoiding any further distress and
upset that she had already received by her Employer’s conduct.
The legal bits…
A
Settlement Agreement is
a written binding contract that waives an individual's rights to bring a
claim in an employment tribunal or court. In
return for waiving their employment rights, the Employee usually
receives a settlement payment in return.
For the Settlement Agreement to be
binding
the Employee must receive advice on the terms and effect of the
Agreement on the Employee from an employment advisor specialist.
How can I help with your
Settlement Agreement?…. I pride
myself in ensuring that my clients are given full and understandable
advice on the Settlement Agreement and that their rights are protected
as best as possible under the Agreement.
I can help
negotiate your settlement if you are not happy with what is being
offered, or you may be very happy with the Settlement Agreement being
offered and want the matter dealt with quickly. If you are looking for help on a Settlement Agreement you have been given, call me to see how I can be of help
I very much look
forward to hearing from you.
