From our experience of advising on employment law and particularly redundancies, we have recently seen a practise used by employers whereby they provide employees with a reference letter and qualify it by stating that should new employers choose to rely on the job reference letter, they do so “at their own risk”.
It is always worth clarifying the position with regards to work references and seek legal advice at the earliest opportunity in relation to your compromise agreements and the possible negotiation of its terms.
If you require further information about UK employment law or seek clarification with regards to redundancy, please contact us at enquiries@rtcooperssolicitors.com or visit one of the following pages on employment law:
