Do’s and Don’t's

.

What to do if your employer is making your life hell

1. Keep a written record of everything said verbally / in meetings
2. Try to keep everything to emails
3. Raise it informally
4. Raise it as a formal Grievance
5. Take time off sick if you feel stressed
6. Hope that they offer you a compromise agreement
7. Ask experts to help you negotiate a higher sum and tax structure your deal (see Representation)
8. If all else fails go to the employment tribunal

What not to do

1. Resign too early (see our article ‘resigning – when is the best time’)
2. Tell your employer that you don t want to go to tribunal
3. Tell your employer that you do want to go to tribunal (unless this is said without prejudice )
4. Ask for a compromise agreement before they do (see our article ‘making an offer’)
5. Blatantly copy all of your emails onto a hard disk
6. Feel pressured into taking a deal because you are presented with an arbitrary deadline

You might want to get a rough idea of the value of your case by filling in the Compromise Calculator. Also think about getting some representation – have a look at the Employee Experiences to see how others in your situation were helped on their journey. Armed with some tailored advice, you will not only know which moves to make and which moves to not even think about, but your employer will suddenly
sit up and take notice. If you want to discuss this or any other compromise agreement query, including how to get representation at no up front cost, email us on info@compromiseagree.com, call us 0800 533 5134 or 07758 263970 or send a message in the box to the bottom right.
