If you have been offered a Settlement Agreement, you are likely facing an important and potentially life-changing decision. These agreements are often presented at moments of uncertainty; perhaps during redundancy, workplace disputes, following a long-term absence from work etc. It is essential that you fully understand your rights, your options, and whether the terms being offered are right for you.
A Settlement Agreement is a contract between an employer and an employee which, usually, sets out terms for the employee to give up their job, their employment rights and any Employment Tribunal claims they may have (such as discrimination, unfair dismissal, unlawful deduction of wages etc) in exchange for a compensatory payment from their employer.
