Our experienced settlement agreement solicitors are here to guide you through every aspect of the process, helping you to bring contracts of employment to an end efficiently, correctly and fairly.
Settlement Agreements can work well for both employers and employees because they remove the uncertainty, risk and stress of tribunal claims. They are usually much less costly, too.
A Settlement Agreement compromises any dispute between the employer and employee and will prevent the employee from bringing any claims in the employment tribunals or the civil courts. In return, the employee will receive a lump sum or termination payment, and typically a written employment reference. The employer will also make a contribution to the employee’s costs in taking their own legal advice.
