Sometimes when employment is brought to an end it can involve an employer and employee signing a settlement or compromise agreement. These documents are legally complex and can have important and long-lasting consequences for employees.
The essence of such an agreement is that you agree to waive any claims you may have against your employers in return for an agreed financial amount.
Before entering into such an agreement it is essential to obtain expert legal advice and employers will normally pay for their employees to obtain such legal advice. We are able to explain what this is and ensure that your rights are protected.
