Types of Exits

• Resignation: If you choose to resign, it’s essential to consider the terms of your contract, including notice periods, restrictive covenants, and any entitlements such as bonuses or share options.
• Dismissal: If your employer is considering terminating your employment, they must follow a fair and lawful process, taking into account employment laws around unfair dismissal, discrimination, and breach of contract.
• Settlement Agreements: A protected conversation or a “without prejudice” negotiation can lead to a settlement agreement. This document will outline the terms under which your employment ends, including any financial compensation and your agreement not to bring any claims against the company.
