‘The Sun reports Monaco Solicitors’ book for employees on negotiating exit packages
‘Exit strategy employment lawyer Alex Monaco gives his top tips on how to negotiate a fair exit package if you are forced out of a job
There’s plenty you can do to ensure you get the best deal if you’re
forced out of a job:
- DON’T RESIGN IMMEDIATELY: If you do, you lose an important bargaining chip
in negotiating a better settlement agreement. - DON’T PLAY TOO NICELY: A settlement is not what you ought to get, it’s what
they owe you for your workplace mistreatment and for forcing you out of your job. - DON’T BURN YOUR BRIDGES: You don’t have to hide your feelings but don’t come
across as too angry as you must remain professional at all times. - OFFER SOMETHING BACK: Suggest a confidentiality clause or a smooth handover
to your successor. - BE AWARE OF YOUR STRICT TRIBUNAL DEADLINES: Don’t let your negotiations push you
over the strict time limits for tribunal claims. See our post on ‘Employment Tribunal Claims Time Limits 1st October 2026‘.
