Without prejudice letter: Made redundant on maternity leave

This without prejudice letter was written by us for a client who was told that she was being made redundant whilst she was on maternity leave (an all too common occurrence unfortunately). The employer tried to misrepresent her job role, saying that she was admin support, whereas in fact her appraisals showed that her role was more managerial. Furthermore she was not put in a pool with other employees, or offered meaningful alternative employment.

Without prejudice letter: Sham redundancy – bullying and stress

This without prejudice letter is written on behalf of a client who was unfairly dismissed, reinstated on appeal and then had to resign. Numerous serious breaches of the employment contract were committed by the employer, including: breach of trust, failure to follow the disciplinary and grievance procedures put in place and acting in an arbitrary manner. All of this cumulated in the decision to reinstate our client following his resignation. In order to reflect the basic award and the loss of statutory rights and earning we proposed a settlement agreement on his behalf.

Without prejudice letter: Mishandled grievance and unfair constructive dismissal

Our client raised a grievance after issues at work affected his health. The grievance was mishandled, so we wrote a without prejudice letter on his behalf of which upheld that the delay in response to his grievance letter increased his anxiety and lead to a loss of trust in his employer’s ability to adequately support his return to work. We proposed a settlement agreement of 6-month salary and other benefits, given the evidence the client had to support a claim for constructive unfair dismissal.

Without prejudice letter: Raised a grievance and breach of confidentiality

Our client was offered a settlement agreement after the employer exacerbated his anxiety via breach of his confidentiality. We rejected this offer and after raising a grievance wrote a response on his behalf. We brought to their attention our aims to resolve the matter swiftly and that doing so would save them a lot of time and expense, and therefore, offered a counter-proposal. This proposal included; full salary, payment of the difference in bonus between the current and next year, termination date including holiday pay, 6 months salary, contribution to legal costs and a reference.

Without prejudice letter: Demoted whilst on sick leave, settlement proposal

On behalf of a client, we put forth an exit settlement in the form of this without prejudice letter, which included a counter offer. Our client was demoted and given a written warning along with a threat of being sacked before the grievance appeal concluded, whilst he was taken of sick due to work related issues. The company failed to aid him in his search for alternative employment as they promised, therefore, the settlement agreement they proposed was rejected. Instead we suggested that the final settlement should consider the statutory redundancy, loss of income, outstanding bonuses, future losses, outstanding annual leave and pension contributions be considered.

Without prejudice letter: Unfair redundancy procedure

Our client was unfairly made redundant, and the procedure in which this redundancy was made was unfair. This is expressed in this letter, in which we bring to their attention the unnecessary delays and lack of communication causing the client anxiety and stress; no attempt to consider alternative placements were made; a total lack of consultation procedures. In this letter we suggested that the settlement agreement, starting with a 6months salary pay be made, was inadequate, and that to reflect the less of statutory rights and benefits, as well as to cover the legal costs the client incurred this should be increased.

Without prejudice email: Unfair constructive dismissal based on discrimination

Our client’s employer proposed a settlement agreement. In a without prejudice response, we seek to improve the employer's offer by arguing that our client could claim for unfair constructive dismissal, based on sex and disability discrimination. The outcome was a much better settlement payment than the client had initially been offered.
