Thorneycroft Solicitors’ specialist employment team has many years of experience advising both employers and employees on what are now called settlement agreements (previously called compromise agreements).
A settlement agreement is a legally binding document made between the employer and the employee which settles, once and for all, any employment related disputes.
One of the most important terms of a settlement agreement is that the employee contracts out of their employment rights which means that the employee cannot subsequently bring a claim against the employer in the employment tribunal.
An employee must seek independent legal advice for which the employer generally meets all of the costs. If they want to negotiate the terms of the settlement agreement this can be done when seeking independent legal advice. A common area of negotiation is when an employee seeks to obtain a reference from the employer. This can be incorporated into the terms of the settlement agreement.
There may also be restrictions contained in a settlement agreement which prevent the employee from contacting customers or competing with the employer and these will need to be considered carefully.
Both employers and employees may also need to consider the tax implications of a settlement agreement as it is possible that up to £30,000 may be paid without deduction of tax.
Once the employee has obtained independent legal advice and the terms of the settlement agreement have been agreed, both parties sign the agreement and it then becomes binding.
Some settlement agreements may differ from others, depending on the specific circumstances. However most agreements will cover:
There are specific requirements that must be met, if the agreement is to be valid, which normally include:
If you are an employee or employer requiring legal advice regarding a settlement agreement, call us for a chat today. We provide a comprehensive service that ensures your legal rights are being met or protected.
