Compromise Agreements
A compromise agreement is a legally binding agreement following termination of your employment. It usually provides for severance payment from your employer in exchange for which you agree not to pursue your claim at a tribunal.
Employers are now using them more frequently as they are recognised at law as the only way a valid claim can be resolved without tribunal proceedings being started.
It is compulsory to take independent legal advice before the agreement becomes legally binding - in fact, the solicitor giving the advice has to sign and certify the agreement.
If you have been offered a compromise agreement Employment SOS have a team of experienced lawyers to offer advice and assistance.
In most instances the legal advice should cost you nothing as our costs will usually be paid by your employer. We will discuss this during our preliminary discussions.
