If you’re worried about any sort of legal dispute with a departing employee, you’ll want to know about settlement agreements. A settlement agreement, sometimes called a compromise agreement, is a document that lays out the terms of their departure. That’ll include the agreed amount of severance pay, in exchange for certain requirements on their part - for example waiving the right to bring a future claim against your business. These agreements are often used when both parties want to avoid the stress and expense of filing or replying to an employment tribunal claim. If a claim has already been filed, a settlement agreement can be used to avoid a full tribunal hearing. Many employers will use a settlement agreement as a standard approach to avoiding or settling disputes in the workplace. Examples of when a settlement agreement may be used: 📜 If you are making an employee redundant 📜 If an employee is subject to disciplinary action 📜 Senior level management/executive severance Essentially, a settlement agreement brings an employee’s contract of employment to an end on mutually agreeable terms.
