What Is A Settlement Agreement?

Quite simply, this is an agreement that will end your employee’s contract with you. It will also waive their right to take you to an employment tribunal at any stage after the settlement agreement has been signed.

Whilst the odds may seem stacked in your favour, your employee will normally negotiate with you to receive a payout and also a reference from you. This way the benefit is mutual.

Settlement agreements are legally binding and your employee must enter into the agreement with you voluntarily.

It is important to follow the statutory rules that decide whether a settlement agreement is legally binding. Our solicitors help you with this part of the process.
