compromise agreements
Compromise agreements are offered by employers to employees upon the termination of employment. A compromise agreement prevents an employee from bringing certain claims against the employer, usually in return for an enhanced payment.
A valid compromise agreement must satisfy certain requirements, one of which is that the employee must receive independent legal advice. It is usual for the employer to contribute towards the legal costs and some employers will pay the costs in full. The employment department has extensive experience both in drafting compromise agreements and in negotiating favourable settlements. |
