A settlement agreement (formerly known as a compromise agreement) may be used to resolve a workplace dispute. It may be offered in all sorts of situations where the employment contract will be brought to an end. A settlement agreement is a legally binding contract whereby the employee will waive all rights to make a claim to an employment tribunal or court against the employer, usually in return for compensation. It is a legal requirement for all employees to obtain independent legal advice before entering into a settlement agreement.
