Settlement Agreements for Employers
For any employer in Shrewsbury, it’s important to have an understanding of when it may be the right time to offer an employee a settlement agreement.
Equally, should an employee ever approach you to request a settlement agreement, it may be that you’ll require expert legal advice on how to best respond.
What is a Settlement Agreement?
Settlement agreements are legally binding contracts between an employer and employee (or former employee) to settle any claim/s or potential claim/s with agreed upon terms.
To ensure the validity of a settlement agreement, it must be recorded in writing, as well as referencing particular complaints or proceedings. Additionally, the employee must access their own independent legal advice before they sign the agreement.
