Settlement Agreement Legal Services

Settlement Agreements, formerly known as Compromise Agreements, are sometimes offered by employers when terminating employment.

The basis of a Settlement Agreement is that the employer offers the employee financial compensation or another incentive usually over and above the employer’s contractual entitlement.

The advantage to the employer is that the employee gives up their right to make an employment-related claim against them. The advantage to the employee is that they gain an agreed settlement package that allows them to terminate their employment with sufficient funds and a clean record of employment. Bringing a formal claim against an employer can be time-consuming and expensive. If negotiated properly, a Settlement Agreement is an effective way of ensuring the employee is adequately compensated for their termination of employment.
