Compromise agreements / Settlement Agreements

When your employment ends, it can sometimes involve a Compromise or Settlement Agreement. QualitySolicitors can explain what this is, help you agree one and make sure your rights are taken care of.

When the decision is taken to end an employment relationship, it can be a time of uncertainty. Disputes can arise over the decision to dismiss. Directors can fall out over future business strategy or investment decisions. You may feel your position is untenable or that your employer wants you to resign and is forcing you to do so. Alternatively, your employment may end due to restructuring of the company.

Compromise agreements are legally binding documents. QualitySolicitors Parkinson Wright can explain what one is and what it means, should you sign one. In return for an agreed financial amount, you agree to waive any claim you may have. Your claim may have a higher potential value. We explain what your options are and if this is the best outcome. Terms need to be agreed by you. At every step, we use plain English, not legal jargon. If you sign, you know fully what you are agreeing to.

To help you resolve your dispute, and to talk about compromise agreements*, call us today on 01905 401 893.

 

*Your employer will usually make a contribution towards your legal fees if you sign the agreement. This payment will usually cover our fee for providing advice on a standard agreement.  Additional assistance, negotiations or dealing with any disputes which may arise will be subject to further charges.  If you choose not to sign the agreement and / or your employers fail to pay, you remain responsible for our fees.
