Settlement agreements are legally binding contracts which exist between employer and employee and are also formally known as a 'compromise agreement'.
As these type of agreements are legally binding, it is crucial that legal advice is sought immediately before either party signs them when an employment contract comes to an end
If you are an employee and are asked to sign a compromise agreement, you should seek advice at the earliest opportunity whether you live in Crawley or elsewhere in England and Wales.
Once all parties are happy with the legal implications, the agreement ensures that the employee will not bring any future claims to court in respect of the termination of their employment.
A settlement agreement is usually signed in exchange for a payment from the employer.
From complex cases to straightforward settlement packages, we want to ensure your compromise agreement is fair and in your best interests.
