DH was told yesterday that he is on notice of redundancy. This is not unexpected as he is a professional in a highly paid, though dying industry. Although they would go through the usual consultation period it is unlikely that his employer will come up with a suitable alternative that he would accept (anything would be at the other end of the country). As an alternative, for a higher pay off, he has been offered a compromise agreement. Does anyone know why they would do this? You sign away your rights to claim anything further, but he can't see anything else he would claim for (seems to have been a fair process). There also might be restrictive covenants, but he will have those under his existing employment contract. Is there anything else? Is there a downside. Can he still say he was made redundant?
