Employment Settlement Agreements - Advice for Employees

We provide you with friendly and judgement free support and advice regarding your Settlement Agreement so that you can feel empowered and equal to your employers. Please note we only offer advice and drafting in relation to settlement agreements only, not employment law generally.

Typically, a Settlement Agreement will require a Solicitor, a Fellow of the Chartered Legal Executive (FCILEx) Lawyer or Trade Union to advise on a Settlement Agreement before it becomes legally binding.

When advising on the Settlement Agreement, one of our friendly Employment Law team will advise you on: –

Final Salary, Annual Leave and Notice period remuneration.
PILON (Payments In Lieu of Notice).
Restrictive Covenants and Consideration.
Ex-Gratia Payments.
Pensions, Tax and National Insurance.
Redundancy.
Employment Termination and Dismissal.

Fees

Employers will usually pay legal fees associated with an employee taking advice on Settlement Agreement. We work on a complete cost transparency policy, and so if the circumstances of your Settlement Agreement seem complex or unusual to the extent where we will likely exceed the costs your employer has offered to pay, we will keep you informed so that you are in control.

Easy to understand advice

We pride ourselves on providing easy to understand legal advice in a way that suits you. Either face to face in our Midsomer Norton or Frome offices, over the telephone, or via a video call (Zoom, Microsoft Teams).

We understand that there may be a variety of reasons that you have been provided with a Settlement Agreement. We provide advice on a strictly factual basis, without judgement.

Our impartiality creates a safe space for you to talk with our Employment Law team on a fully confidential basis. This means that your sensitive information is in safe hands with us, and we will handle it with dignity and respect no matter what has happened with your Employer.

If you are an Employee who requires advice relating to Settlement Agreements, please , contact us to discuss further. Enquiries are always free and on a no-obligation basis.
