Severance issues cover payments and terms when an employee’s job ends, including redundancy, severance pay, notice pay, garden leave and compromise agreements. A solicitor in this area helps prepare, review or negotiate a settlement, ensure any payments meet legal minimums, check for overlapping rights such as notice and accrued holidays, and advise on avoiding or resolving disputes with employers. They also assess the fairness of dismissal processes and any protections under employment law when a role ends.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
The solicitor handles provisions, thresholds and timelines—redundancy criteria, notice periods, holiday pay, and any compensation due under the Employment Rights Act. They review the terms, check for proper disclaimers or restrictive covenants, advise on enforceability of a settlement, and ensure regulatory protections around client funds and rights of audience in related proceedings.
