• to either side on settlements and sign compensation agreements for employees
  
  
• advice and representation of either employers or employees before Employment Tribunals in cases relating to unfair dismissal and selection for redundancy
  
  
• the rights of employees following the sale of a business
  
  
• the employment implications of selling or buying a business
  
  
• employers on a variety of topics relating to their staff including working conditions, contracts of employment, redundancy, dismissal, equal pay and discrimination
  
  
• draft employment contracts, Staff manuals and handbooks, and Employment, Environmental and Safety policies

Compromise Agreements

When it becomes the time for the boss and a member of staff to part company and there is an employment settlement or a redundancy payment, both sides may want to have the severance deal recorded in an employment Compromise Agreement.

A compromise agreement is an agreement which sets out the terms of the deal between employer and employee. The important matter is that if it is counter signed by an employment lawyer on behalf of the member of staff then the employer is protected against being taken to an Employment Tribunal. For that reason many employers will contribute to the employment adviser's bill. If you are an employee make sure they make that offer!

The agreement is also vital to the potentially redundant employee to ensure that he gets proper severance pay and pays as little tax on it as possible. We can draw such agreements for employers and advise and approve them for employees.
