When this page is for you
This page is for employees invited to discuss settlement, exit terms, a protected conversation, Acas negotiation or a possible COT3.
What can go wrong
Giving a low figure too early, agreeing vague terms or pausing tribunal preparation can weaken the position. Settlement should be tied to full written terms.
What ProHearings checks
ProHearings checks claim merits, schedule of loss, non financial terms, payment date, tax treatment, reference wording, confidentiality and withdrawal wording.
Documents to send now
Send the offer, contract, payslips, dismissal or grievance documents, ET1 and ET3 if filed, Acas correspondence and any schedule of loss.
Best next step
The best next step is to calculate the private full value first, then decide the opening position and the minimum acceptable package.
