Employment Compromise Agreements

Collas Crill held a seminar yesterday on "Compromise Agreements". These are written agreements to terminate employment in a way that should provide certainty and clarity for both employer and employee. Useful and topical information on other employment issues can be found in the Collas Crill September Employment Newsletter.

Filling the Pensions Black Hole

AO Hall held a seminar last week about the highly topical issue of pension deficits. Paul Buckle, Group Partner, spoke about the debate over, on the one hand, "the desirability for private pension arrangements" and on the other the importance of having arrangements for "giving an employer the financial flexibility to adapt or exit the arrangement it has established".

In the seminar he outlined some ideas and possible strategies for dealing with pension deficits. There was some open discussion on current pension issues, which David Thompson contributed to from a recruitment consultancy perspective.
