Sally is a Lincolnshire girl through and through and has lived in Lincoln her whole life (apart from a brief spell when she went to university in Nottingham, but we don’t talk about that). She began her career with Lincolnshire County Council qualifying as a solicitor in 1996, which she believes now makes her "vintage".

My client was offered a Settlement Agreement to leave his employment and waive his employment rights and claims. I was delighted to assist by identifying the Employment Tribunal claims (including discrimination under the Equality Act 2010) he would be waiving if he signed the Settlement Agreement and advising on his options. Please see below.

It is an unfortunate sign of the times that so many businesses are reducing their staff numbers. We have so many clients contacting us about the redundancy process their employer has applied and asking whether they have been unfairly dismissed. If this is your situation, you are very welcome to call us on 01522 440512 for a free enquiry to discuss your redundancy. In any event, please read on for the answers to some common questions.

A Settlement Agreement is a contract between an employer and an employee which, usually, sets out terms for the employee to give up their job, their employment rights and any Employment Tribunal claims they may have (such as discrimination, unfair dismissal, unlawful deduction of wages etc) in exchange for a compensatory payment from their employer.
At Lincs Law Employment Solicitors we understand your reaction to receiving a Settlement Agreement will be personal to you.

Here at Lincs Law Employment Solicitors, we often receive calls from concerned employees facing disciplinary action. They have often never had an issue or been subjected to disciplinary proceedings at work before. Understandably, they are concerned about the process and their minds will jump straight to worst-case scenario (dismissal). If you are in this situation, try not to panic. As specialist employment solicitors, we are here to help.
