From what we have seen as employment solicitors, if you are doing freelance or contract work and you are made redundant you need to make an immediate decision as to whether you are in discussions over a new job, In most redundancy cases, the compromise agreement will contain a warranty that you have not had any job offers or discussions whilst employed. If your compromise agreement contains such a provision, you must ensure that it is removed before the severance agreement is signed. Otherwise, you would be in breach of contract.
If you need legal advice on the terms of your severance agreement if you are being made redundant, please contact an employment lawyer at enquiries@rtcooperssolicitors.com or visit one of the following pages on employment law:
