Preparing for an employment law meeting
When you need advice quickly, it helps to come prepared. We recommend bringing the following information (where applicable) to your initial consultation:
1. Contract details: employee contract details, settlement agreements, handbooks etc
2. Documents relating to the matter: e.g. in case of grievances these can include minutes of meetings, any notes/documents from disciplinary meetings, in the case of a company restructure the documents relevant to transfer etc.
3. Timeline of events: the series of relevant events, in date order, leading to you contacting us
Once you have instructed us, it would be helpful to provide us with the following information asap:-
1. Proof of ID: valid passport or driving licence
2. Proof of Address: utility bill of bank statement no less than three months old
It’s important to ensure you cover job title, duties, pay, working hours, holiday entitlement, notice period and any post-termination clauses e.g. non compete.
You must follow a fair and compliant process including meaningful consultations with affected employees, using objective selection criteria and ensuring sufficient notice. We recommend legal support to avoid any costly claims.
A settlement agreement can be used to bring an employment relationship to an end on agreed terms, due to redundancy or performance. It’s a mutual decision to part ways and helps prevent future claims.
