If you have been offered a Settlement Agreement by your employer, you may already know that things at work are coming to an end.
Perhaps your role is being made redundant. Maybe there has been a change in management, a workplace dispute, a grievance or a period of ill health. Sometimes, both sides simply agree that it is time to move on.
Whatever the circumstances, a Settlement Agreement is an important legal document and you should understand exactly what you are agreeing to before you sign it.
At Craig Gee Solicitors, we provide clear, practical advice on Settlement Agreements and can negotiate the terms on your behalf where appropriate.
We can advise you on matters including:
- Compensation payments
- Notice pay
- Holiday pay
- Outstanding bonuses or commission
- References
- Confidentiality clauses
- Tax provisions
- Restrictions on working for competitors or contacting former clients
- The termination date and any other outstanding payments or benefits
For a Settlement Agreement to be legally binding, you must receive advice from an independent legal adviser.
In many cases, your employer will offer a contribution towards the cost of obtaining that advice. We will explain any costs clearly before carrying out work on your behalf.
Our aim is to make the process straightforward, efficient and as stress-free as possible, while ensuring that your interests are properly protected.
If you have been offered a Settlement Agreement, or have been told that one may be offered to you, contact Craig Gee Solicitors on 0161 666 9999 to discuss your options.
