Redundancy Settlement Agreement - Solicitor?
Discussion
Afternoon all.
I've been meaning to make this thread for a while. As some of you will know from my other thread I was made redundant from my work recently. I was told on the 11th of July that I would be at risk of redundancy and on the 11th of August my employment ended.
I'm not one to moan, but at the same time as my redundancy one of my colleagues with a very similar job resigned. 2 weeks of his 4 weeks notice and I'd have been able to do his job no problem, but my manager of 3 weeks didn't want to know. Does anyone think there's anything I should do about this? I've not really let it bother me until typing this thread now. This isn't even why I'm creating the thread...
Anyway, I've just had my settlement agreement through. I was only employed for 16 months so wont receive statutory redundancy but I will get 4 weeks pay from what I understand. I'm at the stage where I just want things finished, I don't really fancy going down the solicitor but I'm concerned to why they've told me to. Is this standard practice?
If anyone can help a fellow PHer out I'll happily share the document to see what the f
k I'm actually agreeing to. I've spoken to HR but despite writing the form they don't seem to know a lot about its purpose.
So, is this standard practice?
