    I don't believe this is required by law. A straightforward voluntary redundancy scheme is not where the employer is required to pay for legal advice for the employee.

    When they do have to pay for independent legal advice from a solicitor is when someone leaves under a compromise agreement.

    Sorry, yes, I was going to be made redundant, but the compromise/voluntary bit came in because we agreed I was to 'take the money and run' sooner rather than later.
    Please forgive me if my comments seem abrupt or my questions have obvious answers, I have a mental health condition which affects my ability to see things as others might.

    I agree, but I wasn't in the room, and to a 20yr old, it was more than she was expecting

    The last thin we wanted was for he to call our bluff and force us to ET

    You can still do that if you don't like the agreement.

    It was an informal meeting after all.

    Any legal comprimse needs to have legal rep.
