Employer Settlement Agreement
When an issue arises during an employment relationship, one solution is to enter into a settlement agreement (formerly known as a compromise agreement, or a mutual termination agreement).
This is a legally binding agreement which prevents an employee from making a claim against you in return for a compensation payment.
There are a number of requirements which must be met in order for a settlement agreement to be binding. One of these is that the employee must receive independent legal advice on the agreement from a qualified person, such as a solicitor. It is therefore standard practice for employers to provide a contribution towards the employee’s legal fees for a settlement agreement (although it is not a legal requirement).
