A settlement agreement is a legally binding agreement which allows the employee to receive an agreed tax free lump sum. In return, the employee agrees not to pursue their case to an Employment Tribunal or the civil courts. Moreover, it is also possible to include an agreed reference within the settlement agreement.
A settlement agreement is usually, but not always, drawn up by the employer’s solicitor. To be valid, a settlement agreement must comply with the following requirements:-
The agreement must be in writing
The nature of the dispute being settled must be specified within the agreement
The agreement must include a statement confirming that the conditions governing settlement agreements have been complied with
The employee must have received independent legal advice on the settlement agreement. This must be from a person who is qualified and insured to provide it, such as their solicitor. The settlement agreement must also identify who that person was. The employer pays the costs involved for the employee taking this advice.
When the relationship between an employer and employee irretrievably breaks down, one solution is for both parties to enter into a ‘settlement agreement’, and our specialist settlement agreement solicitors can assist you with this process.
We can normally see you the same day that you contact us. Completion time depends upon how complex the dispute is, and a willingness by both sides to resolve matters. Nevertheless, as settlement agreement solicitors, we are normally able to broker a resolution and complete the overwhelming majority of settlement agreements very quickly.
