Settlement Agreements
When your employment ends, it can sometimes involve a Settlement Agreement (otherwise known as a Compromise Agreement). QualitySolicitors specialist settlement agreement solicitors can explain what this is, help you agree one and make sure your rights are taken care of.
When the decision is taken to end an employment relationship, it can be a time of uncertainty. Disputes can arise over the decision to dismiss. Directors can fall out over future business strategy or investment decisions. You may feel your position is untenable or that your employer wants you to resign and is forcing you to do so. Alternatively, your employment may end due to a restructuring of the company.
Settlement agreements are legally binding documents. QualitySolicitors can explain what one is and what it means, should you sign one. In return for an agreed financial amount, you agree to waive any claim you may have. Your claim may have a higher potential value. We explain what your options are and if this is the best outcome. Terms need to be agreed by you. At every step, we use plain English, not legal jargon. If you sign, you know fully what you are agreeing to.

Contracts of employment

Discrimination at work
Being treated unfairly is unpleasant and upsetting. If that is because of a prejudice someone holds, QualitySolicitors will support you to gain fair treatment or make a claim.
Grievance and disciplinary procedures
Facing problems at work is never easy - particularly if there’s a breakdown in the relationship between you and your employer. So it’s good to know that when things go wrong, help is available to ensure you are treated fairly and to support you during work-related disputes.
Redundancy
When faced with redundancy it’s natural to have lots of questions. You’ll want to know if your redundancy is fair, how much notice your employers have to give you, and whether you are entitled to redundancy pay. Most employers handle the redundancy process properly and support their employees through this difficult time. However, if your employer is making redundancies and you feel as though you need help to ensure that you’re fairly treated, we’re here for you.
