If you are being made redundant, you would normally have to return all of your company’s property by a certain specified date in order to be paid your redundancy payment. One important point which we mention when advising clients is to get confirmation from the employer that the property has been returned.

Many employers provide standard references now and these are usually attached as a schedule or appendix to the settlement agreements/compromise agreements of employees who are being made redundant. Prior to signing your settlement agreement, it is a good idea to ensure that the reference has been agreed upon and completed as far as possible. This reduces the risk for errors in your reference when a future request is made by a prospective employer and goes towards ensuring there is nothing unexpected contained within your reference.
