Settlement Agreement Sign Off & Negotiation

David Greenhalgh

A settlement agreement is a legally binding contract between an employer and an employee, used as a means of terminating employment.

By signing a settlement agreement you are waiving your right to bring any employment related claims in the future, in exchange for certain benefits, so it is vital you receive clear independent legal advice.

A good employment lawyer will be able to explain how Employment Tribunal awards are calculated, and this will enable you to make an informed decision about whether the value of package on offer is fair and reasonable.
