Employment Law – Compromise Agreement
February 18th, 2011 · No Comments · Termination Date, Termination of Employment, Termination Payment
Under employment law, any sums owed to an employer by an employee upon termination of an employee’s contract of employment, will normally be deducted from any severance payment being paid to the employee (unless agreed otherwise in advance). This should always be taken into account in a compromise agreement.

If you are an employee and looking for employment law advice, then you should note that confidentiality is a crucial part of your compromise agreement.

Where an employee and employer are involved in protracted negotiations over the terms of a compromise agreement, the employee should always bear in mind the time limits for bringing any prospective claim in an employment tribunal. If this date passes, this is likely to have an adverse effect on the employee’s negotiation position, if this […]

We are finding that when some employees are faced with redundancy, there are employers that are willing to allow these employees’ private medical cover to continue for a short period after the employees’ termination dates. This is not an entitlement and is always subject to the discretion of the employers. It clearly would depend on the circumstances in […]

The reason why an employer contributes to an employee’s legal costs is to ensure that the employee receives independent legal advice. The idea is that the lawyer will run through the terms of the compromise agreement and the implication, so that the employee would have a sound appreciation of what the employee is signing. This […]

An employee should seek legal advice on an offer proposed by an employer if being made redundant. We are seeing that sometimes when an employee has another job offer, the employee is keen to leave his or her employment and does not seek legal advice on the offer. Once the compromise agreement is signed, it becomes […]

Section 147 of the Equality Act 2010 http://www.equalities.gov.uk/equality_act_2010.aspx (“the Act”) has already become the subject of legal discussion, due to apparent ambiguities. This section of the Act sets out the requirements for an enforceable ‘compromise contract’ which purports to settle claims arising under the Act. The ambiguity is in relation to the definition of an ‘independent […]

We are revisiting the issue of payment in lieu of notice from a different angle this time especially in relation to redundancy. We are being asked by a number of employers and employees whether they could get around the issue of taxation of notice periods (PILON). One of the ways that we have considered to achieve […]

This is a reminder that payments in lieu of notice are subject to tax and national insurance at the approved rates. We are still being asked whether this is the case by a number of employers and employees, especially employees about their employee rights. If you require employment law advice especially in relation to your compromise agremeent, […]
