This area covers the notice period that must be given when ending an employment contract in England, and how it interacts with contractual terms and statutory minimums. A solicitor in this area reviews or drafts notices, negotiates termination packages, and resolves disputes about pay in lieu of notice or garden leave. They may prepare or advise on settlement agreements and represent clients in related discussions or in a tribunal if a notice entitlement is challenged.
Where a solicitor protects your position
The key decision is whether the notice period provided or required will affect pay, continuity of service, or eligibility for severance. A solicitor’s involvement ensures proper calculation, clarity in the contract, and protection against incorrect dismissal or missing payments, with attention to any potential breaches of the Employment Rights Act 1996 and related regulations.
