Are you currently in discussions with your employer to end your employment by signing a Settlement Agreement or a Redundancy Agreement?
What is a Settlement Agreement?
A Settlement Agreement is a contract that sets out agreed terms and conditions for ending your employment. They are used to resolve any differences so that you and your employer can go your separate ways amicably.
A Settlement Agreement is designed to “settle” any disputes between you and your employer, so the terms will be agreed by both of you, to ensure you are both happy.
Normally, this means that as the employee, you will receive a payment in return for giving up your rights to bring a claim against your employer. These agreements are also given as part of a redundancy package.
Why Do I Need to Speak to a Solicitor?
