Settlement Agreement

You have just been given a settlement agreement.

You may be in a state of shock or surprise. Your employer wants you to leave. Your employer wants you to give up all your employment rights. Your employer may be imposing some time pressure on you. You have read the agreement but need to take legal advice.

You will have some immediate questions:

  • Is the financial offer fair?

  • Can the financial offer be improved?

  • Are the other terms reasonable?

  • Is the income tax treatment correct?

PJH Law has the required expertise to ensure that the correct amount of income tax only is paid on the termination payments. PJH law has successfully recovered from HMRC income tax that has been overpaid on settlement agreements and ensure that all appropriate allowances are claimed.
