I recently found myself in the process of being made redundant, in both meetings with my ex employer i was told that my position n Sales was being made redundant.
Moving on I was offered a comprimise/termination agreement and some payment towards a solicitor to oversee the agreement.
The signing of this agreement dragged on and I found myself having to contribute to my solicitors fees and ended up signing under duress to try and complete the signing.
Whilst I am not particularly aggreived at this I now find that the company have employed a new salesman merely 6 weeks after my termination, I had always suspected that my termination was engineered - I had never missed my sales targets and contributed 65-70% of the sales for one particular manufacturing site for this company! - and this recent news only leads me to believe this is true.
however, my solicitors says I have not rights to make any claims as the settlement was full and final, I agree with the wording but cannot believe that this agreement can allow the company to say one thing and yet clearly prove that what they were saying i.e position redundant, was not true
Is my solicitor correct? I certainly would not have signed the agreement had I been aware that they could do this
