Voluntary Severance Solicitor
Voluntary Severance Legal Advice
Our voluntary severance advice supports employees considering an exit package and employers implementing voluntary severance or voluntary exit schemes. We explain your rights, obligations and the legal implications of the proposed arrangements.
Voluntary severance can involve enhanced payments, settlement agreements, notice arrangements, tax considerations, and pension implications. We explain the legal effect of the proposed terms and advise whether the package reflects your circumstances before any agreement is signed.
Every voluntary severance scheme operates differently. We advise on eligibility criteria, employer discretion, application processes, and the documentation required to complete the arrangement.
Where a settlement agreement forms part of the exit package, we review the agreement, explain its legal effect, and negotiate improved financial or contractual terms where appropriate. Our employment solicitor will advise employers on preparing compliant voluntary severance documentation.
Voluntary Exit Schemes
Helping You Make an Informed Decision
Choosing whether to accept voluntary severance is an important decision that can affect your finances, future employment, and legal rights. We assess the proposed package, explain any risks, and advise on the options available before you make a commitment.
Whether your matter involves enhanced severance payments, alternative employment, settlement negotiations, or concerns about fairness, advice is tailored to your individual circumstances or business objectives.
We also advise on the differences between voluntary severance and redundancy, the tax treatment of termination payments, and issues involving discrimination, family leave, long-term sickness absence, or other protected rights.
From reviewing an initial proposal through to negotiating the final agreement, Pre-Law provides practical employment law advice designed to help individuals and businesses achieve a fair and legally compliant outcome.
