If you are facing disciplinary action, your employer may be able to take into account any previous acts of misconduct, including where the earlier misconduct has not given rise to disciplinary proceedings.
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.
