Settlement agreements

If you are ending your relationship with your employer or you are involved in a dispute with them, you may have been offered a settlement agreement. This is a lump sum of money that is generally paid in return for leaving and for agreeing not to proceed with certain types of legal action.

You must have independent legal advice before signing a settlement agreement, as it is a waiver of some of your rights. At Rollits, our specialist employment solicitors routinely advise on settlement agreements and, where necessary, negotiate to secure improved terms and conditions.

You can expect certain issues to be dealt with in the agreement, such as the agreed wording of the reference that your employer will provide for you in the future. We will work to ensure that your rights and interests are protected and that the agreement is in your best interests.

Unfair dismissal and constructive dismissal

Your employer can only lawfully dismiss you if they have a valid reason to do so. If they do not, then you may be able to make an unfair dismissal claim against them. Similarly, if you feel that you have no option but to resign because of the way you have been treated, then you could have a claim for constructive dismissal.

We can put together a robust case on your behalf and work to secure you compensation out of court where possible. If your case cannot be settled, we can represent you at an employment tribunal.

Redundancy and redundancy pay

If you are facing redundancy, you have a range of legal rights that must be observed. We can support you during this time and ensure that your interests are protected and that you receive everything you are owed in respect of pay, benefits and holiday time or pay.

We will also check that your employer has followed the correct procedure in dealing with your redundancy and that their selection process was fair and transparent. If errors have been made in handling the situation, you may be able to make a claim for unfair dismissal.

Employment claims, including discrimination, harassment and whistleblowing

We represent employees in a full range of employment claims, including in respect of discrimination, harassment and whistleblowing.

We have extensive experience in dealing with employers and their legal teams and a proven track record of success. We will ensure that your case is as strong as possible and work to resolve matters out of court. We also deal with employment tribunal cases and we will ensure that you have expert representation and the right advice.

We know that making a claim against your employer can seem daunting and we will do all we can to support you throughout your time with us.

Disciplinary procedures

As an employer, if you need to take disciplinary action against an employee, it is important to follow the correct procedure to avoid the risk of a claim against you. Our employment team can advise you on dealing with complex disciplinary matters and ensure that you have a sound procedure in place to follow.

Employment contracts and policies

Having the right employment contracts and employment policies will ensure that your employees understand what is expected of them and how difficulties will be handled. It will also go a long way to avoiding disagreements.

We can work with you to draft robust employment contracts and policies to govern your relationship with your employees. We will ensure that they are compliant with Acas requirements and that your business needs are reflected in the terms and conditions.

Redundancy

If you are in the difficult position of needing to make redundancies, we can help you navigate the legal requirements, avoiding the risk of unfair dismissal claims.

There are numerous steps to go through, including ensuring that employees have the correct notice, establishing who is at risk of redundancy, considering other alternatives and deciding on redundancy criteria and how these will be scored.

We can advise you of the best approach and ensure that each stage is handled correctly. We also provide advice and representation if you are facing appeals or unfair dismissal claims relating to redundancy.

Employment tribunal claims, including disciplinary proceedings and whistleblowing
