Working for over 2 years, senior role is being made redundant due to industry and organisational changes. Offered a rather crap settlement which he was about to take but ran it by the solicitor as he’s supposed to do and there’s a whopping non-compete in the offer, which solicitor said is unfair and needs tweaking.
So although his employer wanted it all done by May 31st it’s actually still in negotiations. He needed to access his private healthcare and that’s been restricted as they’ve told the healthcare company he’s no longer employed after May 31st.
If he had said no to the settlement agreement he would still be under notice, and I think consultation. He has said yes in principle and yet his contractual benefit has been restricted. That can’t be right can it?
please help!
