Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about employment law. Our FAQs provide guidance to help you navigate workplace rights and responsibilities with confidence.

What are my rights under employment law?

As an employee, you have certain rights under the Employment Act 1996. This includes, but is not limited to, the right to a written contract, the right to protection against unlawful deductions from your pay, the right to a fair wage and the right to protection from discrimination or harassment.

What does an employment solicitor do?

An employment solicitor provides advice on all legal and contractual issues arising from work. This can be for either an employer or an employee. This can include drafting employment contracts for employers or dealing with a potentially unfair dismissal of an employee.

How do I get the most out of my settlement agreement?

Take legal advice to ensure that there are no terms that are unreasonable or should not be included in the agreement. It is also important to be realistic about the compensation you are entitled too, and to not ask for too much or too little. You do not have to accept your employer’s first offer for settlement and making a counteroffer can often result in a better settlement for you.

Can I negotiate my settlement agreement?

You are permitted to negotiate your settlement agreement. If you feel that any compensation you are receiving is below what you are entitled to, then this can be negotiated.

What does a solicitor do with a settlement agreement?

A solicitor will review the settlement agreement and provide a letter of advice for you. This letter will make you aware of clauses that you must follow (e.g. not to disclose confidential information, or to return company property), clauses that your employer must follow and details of pay (which may include pay in lieu of notice or your settlement sum). A solicitor will also advise you that any ongoing or future claims cannot be brought against your employer and will discuss any claims you may have.
