I am an employee: under what circumstances can I be made redundant?

admin — Mon, 08 Dec 2014 16:05:22 +0000

We receive many enquiries from employees who have been informed that they are at risk of redundancy. One of the first questions to consider is whether the employee is facing a true redundancy situation or not.

In order for the company to dismiss an employee by reason of redundancy, the company would have to show that: (i) it ceased or intends to cease carrying on the business for which the employee was employed; or (ii) it ceased or intends to cease to carry on that business in the place where the employee is employed.

If you need legal advice on the terms of your settlement agreement or compromise agreement, or guidance on negotiating your redundancy package with your employer, please contact an employment solicitor at enquiries@rtcooperssolicitors.com.

Entering into a settlement agreement with a company that is part of a group of companies

admin — Thu, 19 Jun 2014 09:00:28 +0000

Each employee should be aware that when he or she signs a settlement agreement with an employer, if the employer is a company then the employee would typically be entering into a settlement agreement/compromise agreement with the following (if these exist): the parent company, any subsidiaries, the directors and agents of the company. It may be that these based in another jurisdiction (not in England). In which case, they would normally be able to enforce their rights against the employee under the agreement as well as the company that is the “employer”.

Agreeing your reference if you are being made redundant

admin — Wed, 18 Jun 2014 17:11:25 +0000

Many employers provide standard references now and these are usually attached as a schedule or appendix to the settlement agreements/compromise agreements of employees who are being made redundant. Prior to signing your settlement agreement, it is a good idea to ensure that the reference has been checked and agreed upon. This reduces the risk for errors in your reference when a future request is made by a prospective employer and goes towards ensuring there is nothing unexpected contained within your reference.

If you need legal advice on the terms of your settlement agreement or compromise agreement, or guidance on negotiating a reference with your employer, please contact an employment solicitor at enquiries@rtcooperssolicitors.com.

Being called upon by your ex-employer after being made redundant

admin — Tue, 20 May 2014 08:18:02 +0000

More and more we are seeing clauses within settlement agreements, whereby for a limited period of time after termination by way of redundancy, the employee may be called upon to deal with any proceedings that might arise (e.g. court proceedings). Such clauses are usually included in an employee’s settlement agreement to ensure that he or she can be called upon in case he or she is required to provide more information or attend any hearings.

Returning company property when you are made redundant

admin — Tue, 29 Apr 2014 09:53:58 +0000

If you are being made redundant, you would normally have to return all of your company’s property by a certain specified date in order to be paid your redundancy payment. Typical examples of employer’s property include, work mobile phones, portable storage devices (USBs) and cars/vans. One important point which we mention when advising clients is to get confirmation from the employer that the property has been returned. This ensures that there can be no question as to whether the employer’s property has been returned or not.

If you need legal advice on the terms of your settlement agreement or compromise agreement, please contact an employment solicitor at enquiries@rtcooperssolicitors.com.

Being made redundant and getting a reference from your employer

admin — Wed, 02 Apr 2014 08:47:19 +0000

In our experience, the key is ensuring that you avoid verbal references being given wherever possible. If a verbal reference is to be given, you should ensure that a written reference is also provided.
