Settlement Agreements

Settlement Agreements

Settlement agreements are legally binding contracts between an employer and an employee, typically used to resolve disputes and end employment amicably. 

These agreements often include terms for compensation, confidentiality, and non-disparagement. 

At HPA Solicitors UK, we offer expert advice to ensure your settlement agreement serves your best interests.

Key Features of a Settlement Agreement

  1. Termination Terms: Details on how employment will end.
  2. Compensation: Financial remuneration agreed upon for leaving the job.
  3. Confidentiality: Clauses preventing disclosure of agreement details.
  4. Waiver of Claims: A provision where the employee agrees not to pursue legal claims against the employer.

When Are Settlement Agreements Used?

  • During redundancy processes.
  • To resolve workplace disputes, such as discrimination or harassment claims.
  • As an alternative to employment tribunal proceedings.
