Drafting of employment contracts for employers with the option to include grievance and disciplinary procedures and advice to minimise your potential exposure to employment tribunal claims. 

If you are involved in a dispute, or you are facing the prospect of dealing with redundancy, you may need to deal with a Settlement Agreement. Settlement Agreements are normally prepared by the employer’s legal representatives and then independently checked by a legal representative for the employee. It is usual for the employer to meet the reasonable fees of the employee being advised

Usually, the employer will be making a payment to the employee and you in return for an effective waiver of any claims the employee may have. There are various requirements that must be fulfilled in order for a Settlement Agreement to be valid, and we will ensure that your Settlement Agreement fulfils all of these requirements.

At Hardman and Watson we can assist with both preparing Settlement Agreements on behalf of employer’s and advising employees on these agreement prepared by others.

Should you require any further information on the above please contact Hardman and Watson to arrange an appointment.
