Employment structured settlements help resolve conflicts, effectively reduce litigation expenses and create long-term financial security for people involved in injury claims through our settlement consulting services. Structured settlement internal rates of return are excellent and represent substantial value for stakeholders, both claimants, employers and lawyers. Let us show you how.
Structured settlements are a great tax deferral solution for employment related settlements, such as:
A former employee entered into a employment structured settlement with her employer relating to mental anguish and emotional distress from a claimed hostile work environment. The IRS held that the economic benefit and constructive receipt doctrines would not apply to cause the employee to report income prior to her actual receipt of cash. The Settlement Agreement and Release which the employer and employee entered into required up-front cash paid in a lump sum, and periodic payments for the other claims. The agreement precluded the employee from accelerating, deferring or otherwise changing the periodic payments. The employee cannot elect to receive the commuted value of the periodic payments. The employer could enter into a non-qualified assignment with a company that will make the payments. No assets were set aside to secure these payments. The employee is not deemed to have received any property when the employer pays the assignment company funds. Because of the restrictions on the employee, she cannot be deemed to constructively receive the funds, there is no current taxation.
Consider that an employment settlement is a taxable settlement. Therefore, the net amount of the receovery could be ALOT smaller in year one after applying Federal and State and any applicable local income taxes. The settlement could push the plaintiff into a higher tax bracket. By structuring your employment related settlement, more of the money is working for the plaintiff right away. With a properly structured employment settlement, income is deferred and resulting tax is deferred until the year payments are received.
Employment structured settlements are appropriate on cases of all sizes. We have concluded them on employment cases ranging from a modest settlement to multi-million dollar employment structured settlements.
