Considering offering an employee a settlement agreement?
A settlement agreement can provide a practical way to resolve an employment dispute or agree an employee’s departure — but getting the process right is important.
From how you introduce the offer and how long the employee has to consider it, to what can be negotiated and what happens if they refuse, there are several issues employers need to consider.
In our latest article, Stan Burgess, Solicitor in Employment & Corporate Commercial at Hutchinson Thomas Solicitors, looks at how employers can offer a settlement agreement without getting it wrong.

Can you negotiate a settlement agreement?
Yes — in many cases, the first offer from your employer doesn't have to be the final one.
There may be scope to negotiate not just compensation, but also notice arrangements, holiday pay, bonuses, references, confidentiality clauses, restrictive covenants and legal fees.
But how do you know what is reasonable to ask for?
In our latest article, Stan Burgess, Solicitor in Employment & Corporate Commercial at Hutchinson Thomas Solicitors, looks at what can be negotiated — and how long you should have to consider a settlement agreement.

It can be difficult to know what to do next, particularly when you are being asked to make decisions about your job, your future and your legal rights.

We celebrated this fantastic achievement with Amber last Friday, marking an exciting new chapter in her career at Hutchinson Thomas.
