July 2019 – health issues redundancy

Mrs R was referred to Sarah as she had acted for her colleague at the same employer with favourable results. After many years loyal service and after some health issues Mrs R was presented with a settlement agreement and told she was to be made redundant.

Sarah negotiated on Mrs R’s behalf directly with her employer. Whilst we originally made a number of requests for additional perks to be added to the settlement agreement such as outplacement which were not granted we did get an increase of 28% to the settlement sum taking her over the tax free limit for settlement agreements.

Mrs R was very thankful for the assistance given.
