When an employment relationship has broken down, an exit package is often used to end the employment contract. They can be initiated by either the employer or the employee.
Exit Packages are attractive to both employer and employee.
Exit Packages allow the employer to bring the employment relationship to an end quickly, easily and without a lot of delay and expense.
There are many reasons for an employee to need to leave a job. Sometimes it’s the arrival of a new CEO who wants to place their ‘own people’ in pivotal roles. Suddenly responsibilities change, new middle managers appear, and employees find themselves doing the same job but with less status. Alternatively, an employer may genuinely need to restructure a business, resulting in redundancies, or the business may be in trouble and the employee is able to see the writing on the wall.
Sometimes you can tell you are no longer wanted or needed through no fault of your own. An Exit Package is a much more attractive option than simply resigning.
Whatever the reason it’s always best to make a dignified exit.
Many problematic employment relationships do not end by dismissal or resignation, but through the negotiation of an Exit Package.
The perception comes from dissatisfaction in the workplace for the employee, performance issues for the employer and most often when a disciplinary meeting takes place. An exit package is attractive to both parties when the employment relationship has no real future.
Typically, such a package will contain some financial benefit for the employee and possibly a reference. The employer can have the assurance that any grievances or claims arising out of the employment relationship (existing or yet to be raised) are at an end.
Our advocates can recognise the opportunity for an exit package and negotiate the best possible package in the circumstances. It is always best to engage our advocates at an early stage so that this strategy can be considered and prepared together, making for the best outcome.

Brilliant Kam

Thank you Kam and team.
Kam Bailey was the hero I needed.
She showed deep kindness towards her clients and everyone else that was invovled. She was respectful, patient and always made sure that we were all comfortable through out the whole process. Thank you for treating me like a human Kam, also for making me feel heard and being the voice for me when I was too afraid to defend myself. You truely are the best.
Highly recommended
Kam Bailey was such a pleasure to work with. I engaged Kam to help me put right, what I knew to be wrong, and I was grateful she accepted our case. The outcome was successful for us in many ways including psychologically, and with it came closure and a welcome sense of relief. It’s not okay for any employer to think they can make up the rules and get away with it. We wanted to use our experience to expose the employer and create awareness for others, but the resolution system demands confidentiality and I think this area needs improvement in some way. Throughout the lengthy ordeal, Kam has been attentive, understanding, reassuring, and calming, and our result was pleasing. I thank you Kam for helping us the way you did. I wish I could say more but I don’t want to be in breach. You are an angel and I thank you for doing what you do in the way that you do. May God bless you and keep you.
