As the furlough scheme begins to wind up we are likely to see an increase in the number of employees leaving their roles via settlement agreements. These are commonly used agreements designed to provide for a “clean break”.
Recent people we’ve helped include:- An employee who had raised issues of sexual harassment against her employer and been offered £10,000. Acting on her behalf, within 2 weeks we had secured her £60,000 and a favorable reference.
- A board member of a high street bank dealing with share options, removal of Directorships, internal and external communications.
- An employee who had raised issues of maternity discrimination and been offered £5,000 to settle. Within 3 weeks we had negotiated this up to £15,000.
- A Director of a global dairy company where we assisted with issues around post termination restrictions and LTIP’s.
- The Managing Director of a large textile company assisting with issues including the sale of shares back to the company.
