02
Match with a solicitor
We match you to a vetted employment specialist within 24 hours. Every solicitor on our panel handles settlement agreements regularly and is SRA-regulated.
03
Get honest advice
Your employer is required to cover your legal fees, typically £350 to £750. Your solicitor's job is to advise you honestly, not to push you to sign.
Why SettlementCheck
An introduction service built for the employee, not the employer.
Most settlement enquiries route to firms that pay for the lead. We don't take payment from firms. Solicitors pay a small monthly subscription for panel access. That keeps the introduction honest.
Genuinely independent
Every other settlement calculator online was built by a law firm that wants your case. Ours was not. We have no firm to push you towards. The result you get is honest.
Your employer pays
Under UK practice, employers contribute £350 to £750 toward your independent legal advice on a settlement.
Vetted specialists only
Every panel solicitor is SRA-regulated and demonstrably specialised in employment settlements.
24-hour response
You have a deadline. All solicitors on our panel commit to responding within 24 hours. Most get back to you the same day.
Common questions
What people ask before they start.
Six things almost every employee wants to know before clicking “calculate.”
Does it cost me anything?
No. Your employer is required by UK law to cover your legal fees for this process, typically £350 to £750. You pay nothing. This means you can choose a specialist who will genuinely advise you, not just whoever is cheapest.
Do I legally need a solicitor?
Yes. Under Section 203 of the Employment Rights Act 1996, a settlement agreement is only legally binding if you have received independent legal advice from a qualified, insured solicitor. You cannot waive your rights without it.
How accurate is the calculator?
The calculator gives a general estimate based on UK statutory rates and benchmarks from settlements we've seen. It is not legal advice. Your circumstances may justify substantially more or less, and only a solicitor reviewing your contract and reason for leaving can tell you.
How quickly will a solicitor contact me?
All panel solicitors commit to responding within 24 hours of an introduction. Most reach out the same business day, often within a couple of hours during working hours.
What if I want to negotiate a higher amount?
Many employees do successfully negotiate more once a solicitor reviews their circumstances. A specialist will assess whether factors like length of service, discrimination, whistleblowing, or contract breaches justify a higher offer.
Is my information shared?
Only with the small panel of solicitors you choose to be introduced to. Never with employers, recruiters, or third parties. You can withdraw at any point.
Why is your calculator independent when others are not?
Most settlement calculators are built by law firms. The goal of those calculators is to capture your details so that firm can take on your case. Our calculator is run by an independent platform with no firm to promote. The estimate you get reflects your actual situation, not what a firm wants you to believe.
Not sure if your offer is fair?
Our calculator is not run by a law firm. Get an honest estimate, then speak to a specialist within 24 hours.
