Handling Post-Employment Debt: HR and Legal Considerations

Has your former employee left you with debt?

Whether it’s unpaid salary sacrifice arrangements, overpaid wages, excess holiday pay, or clawbacks on maternity / paternity benefits and sick pay, employers face a real risk of financial loss if these situations aren’t properly managed.

Join our legal experts Jayne Gardner and Ewan Carr for a practical session focused on helping HR and finance leaders put in place robust processes and avoid legal pitfalls when employees leave with outstanding liabilities.

In this session, we’ll explore:

• What debts an employee may owe at the end of employment – including salary sacrifice, overpayments, and advance leave
• What your current internal process should cover – and where the common gaps are
• Legal considerations for recovering debts lawfully (e.g. contract terms, deductions from final pay, consent)
• How to minimise disputes and protect your organisation
• What third-party legal support can offer when internal steps aren’t enough

Who should attend?

HR professionals, finance managers, payroll leads, in-house legal teams, and business owners who are responsible for managing employee exits and safeguarding organisational finances.
