Settlement Agreements for Employees

Settlement Agreements for Employees

Looking for expert advice on a settlement agreement? We provide nationwide professional, legal support for employees who have been offered a settlement agreement and need expert advice.

No-Cost to you
If your agreement does not require any substantive negotiation, then we will not charge you more than the fee agreed with your employer.

Therefore, the contribution your employer is required to pay covers your fees, making professional support accessible and stress-free.

What happens if the amount I’m being offered is not fair?
If we believe the amount you are being offered is not reasonable, or if we believe you may be able to get a higher settlement figure than originally offered, then we can negotiate this for you.

If we negotiate a higher settlement for you than has been originally offered or agreed, in addition to the fee paid by your employer, we will also charge you a percentage of the increased amount, plus vat (which is charged at 20%).

However, if we do not manage to get you a higher settlement figure, then we will not charge you anything more than the fee agreed with your employer.

What is a Settlement Agreement?
A settlement agreement is a legally binding contract between you and your employer, often used to resolve workplace disputes or end employment on mutually agreed terms. Typically, it includes a financial settlement and requires independent legal advice, which we provide at no cost to you.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much money should I receive in a settlement agreement?
The amount varies depending on your circumstances. Factors typically include what job you do; your length of service; age; whether disciplinary, performance or grievances have been raised; what is the real reason behind the offer; and how important it is strategically to your employer.

Why is there no cost to me?
Your employer will pay your legal fees for settlement agreement advice. We charge only what your employer pays (other than an ID verification charge of approximately £10), so you face no out-of-pocket costs.

Can you help me negotiate a better deal?
Yes, our solicitors can assess whether the offer is fair and negotiate improved terms if necessary, ensuring your interests are protected.

Is the compensation I receive tax-free?
The first £30,000 of a genuine ex gratia payment (compensation for loss of employment) is usually tax-free. Other payments, such as notice pay or bonuses, are subject to tax and National Insurance.
