Employment Settlement Agreement Advice

Employment Settlement Agreements Introduction

An Employment Settlement Agreement provides certainty and protection for both employer and employee when the relationship between them comes to an end and the parties require protection and certainty. This could be due to a redundancy situation, a disciplinary matter and/or dispute between employer and employee. It could also be used where the Company is being sold, and a director is being asked to step down by the incoming owners. The parties may, therefore, wish to record their agreement in a formal contract, known as an Employment Settlement Agreement.

We have extensive experience in giving Employment Settlement Agreements Advice, previously known as Compromise Agreements. We will do our best to provide prompt and effective advice so that the situation is brought to a speedy and satisfactory conclusion for the benefit of both sides.

Our team can assist both the Employer (in drafting and putting together) and the Employee (in terms of providing the Certificate of Advice) with such agreements.

Usually, the cost is covered by the Employer who makes a costs contribution, so if you are an employee, there should be no cost for you in receiving the advice, provided the contribution is reasonable and reflects the circumstances.

Our Employment Settlement Agreement Advice specialists excel at providing clear, practical advice delivered in a straightforward manner. Contact our  team on 01772 555176 or email commercial@vslaw.co.uk for more information regarding Settlement Agreements.

I turned to Vincent’s with a challenging situation that needed very careful handling. Michael and Drew were respectful, understanding and supportive. This made them easy to liaise with and I always felt they had my back. Good at listening to what I wanted, we worked together in finding the best way to draw the matter to a close. This eased my stress and worry. I now highly recommend their services to anyone who needs legal advice and help. Thank you both.
