Settlement Agreements

A settlement agreement is a contract made between an employer and an employee. It allows the employee to give up their right to claim against their employer, usually in exchange for compensation. Settlement agreements are often used when an employee leaves their job but can also be used when they stay with the company.

Employers use settlement agreements for several reasons. They can help avoid formal disciplinary or redundancy procedures, saving time and money. They can also help to protect the employer from claims of unfair dismissal.

To be valid, a settlement agreement must meet specific requirements. It must be in writing, and the employee must get independent legal advice on the agreement’s meaning.
