What are Settlement Agreements?
A settlement agreement (also known as a compromise agreement) is a legally binding contract and resolution between disputing parties designed to bring employment to an end with mutually agreed terms, once signed, you cannot take any claims to an Employment Tribunal in the future.
When an employment relationship comes to an end, it can lead to a time of uncertainty. There are many reasons why your employment may have come to an end, and it’s possible that a dispute may arise from this.
This can be due to disagreements from Directors regarding the future of the business or you may feel like you have been pushed out of the business. Whatever the case, a settlement agreement, which is voluntary yet legally binding, can be used to settle disputes on the termination of employment on agreed terms, usually through compensation.
If you are looking for legal advice regarding a settlement agreement to resolve an issue with an employee in a permanent and binding way, it is a legal requirement that you must receive legal advice before signing a settlement agreement or it is not valid. Our specialist team of employment law solicitors can review the terms proposed to you in your settlement agreement and provide astute and clear legal advice on whether you may have a potential claim against your employer.
