Compromise Agreement or Settlement Agreement?

Your employer may have mentioned a compromise agreement to you. If you can only find information on settlement agreements, that is because compromise agreements are now known as settlement agreements.

Your first steps before compromising your employment rights

If you sign a compromise agreement, or settlement agreement, you will sign away your right to bring claims against your employer. To protect yourself get specialist advice. Our lawyers can advise you as to whether the terms your employer has offered you are reasonable and if you could be compromised by signing away your employment rights.

What is the benefit of a compromise agreement for me?

If your employer has asked you to sign a compromise agreement, the potential benefits for you are that:

Your employer may offer you an enhanced tax free payment for signing the compromise agreement;
The agreement creates a clean break for you and allows you to move on and find alternative employment, saving you time and money on a Tribunal claim
The compromise agreement ensures your employer provides an agreed reference for future employers so you know what they have written and can approve the reference in advance.

How much will legal advice cost me?

We don't charge you for advice or negotiations we undertake on a compromise agreement for you. It is usual for your employer to pay a fixed fee to cover legal advice, so all our costs will be paid by your employer. We will invoice them direct once the matter has concluded, so you won't need to worry about costs.*

*The only time we ask you to pay is if you choose not to sign after we have advised you. We would then limit our costs to the employers contribution amount
