    But he wasn't dismissed for GM. He was no longer an employee

    His settlement agreement was accepted on the 20th, and that was the termination date, apparently.


    Have you reread the settlement agreement since?  We've no idea what clauses are contained within. 

    Did your husband take up the offer of paid legal advice prior to signing the agreement?

    If he didn't receive legal advice then the settlement agreement is not legally binding.

    Thank you. Yes, he did receive the recommended legal advice paid for by his company.

    He was paid his normal monthly salary yesterday and has been told that any final payment will be made next Friday but he doesn't know at the moment what that will comprise of. Hoping its the statutory payment...
