Dismissal
If you have been threatened with dismissal or you are thinking of resigning, you may have a claim for unfair dismissal. You may also have other claims, such as discrimination or whistleblowing.
However, rather than issuing a claim at the Employment Tribunal, you may wish to approach your former employer setting out your potential claims and then request settlement of those claims via a settlement agreement. This is something we can assist with at DAS Law.
Are you at risk of dismissal or redundancy? Has your employer discussed a Settlement Agreement or Compromise Agreement with you? DAS Law has helped thousands people secure the financial settlements they deserve. Contact us for a free consultation on 0344 264 0102 or email us.

In certain situations, you may want to consider a settlement agreement or compromise agreement with your employer.
Redundancy
When an employer makes a worker redundant, there are certain processes and procedures they have to follow to ensure they stay on the right side of employment law. Employees who are being made redundant may have specific rights to things such as notice periods, redundancy pay, and offers of alternative employment.

Resignation
If you’re thinking of resigning from your job, whatever the reason might be, you should prepare yourself by reading up on your rights as a departing employee and the procedures your employer is expected to follow once you decide to leave.
You may feel forced to resign from your job due to your employer’s conduct or due to actions that make you feel as though you are being ‘forced out’. This is known as constructive dismissal, and could be considered as a breach of contract.

Even if you were not unfairly dismissed, you should still be aware of the rights you have in a dismissal situation.
Settlement agreements
In certain situations, you may want to consider a settlement agreement or compromise agreement with your employer. These are increasingly being used to reach resolutions which benefit both the employer and employee. DAS Law can help support you through the process to a suitable outcome.
