Settlement Agreement

Bonus Dispute

I have used Kalra Legal Group to prepare all of my employee contracts and the employee handbook. I would recommend their services to any business owner that requires HR and Employment advice. They are extremely quick at responding to my e-mails and queries. They have been able to explain HR and Employment Law jargon in terms, which I am able to understand and relate too. This has taken the stress away by allowing me to run my business and not worry about the HR side of the business as Anita and her team take care of this for me.

Bal Birla, Managing Director, Swan Letting

Adrian worked as a Mortgage Advisor for one of the most prestigious companies in the UK for just over one year. Recently, Adrian’s manager has changed. The new manager started bullying Adrian and raised issues in relation to Adrian’s performance. Adrian was shocked to hear the allegations about his performance and raised a grievance against his manager. Adrian’s employer offered a settlement agreement to Adrian under the conditions that Adrian would withdraw his grievance.

What did KLG do to help?

We had a meeting with Adrian where we explained to him that unfortunately, due to Adrian’s length of service (less than two years) he would not be able to bring a claim for constructive or unfair dismissal. We reviewed Adrian’s settlement agreement and noticed that his employer did not include Adrian’s bonus which Adrian was entitled to, as the Company achieved its target. We contacted Adrian’s employer and amended the settlement agreement by adding the bonus award Adrian was entitled to. Adrian’s employer agreed to this amendment and the settlement agreement was finalised between the parties. If Adrian did not seek legal advice he would have missed out on a £55,000.00 bonus. His untaken accrued holidays were also worked out incorrectly.
