What is a Settlement Agreement?
A Settlement Agreement is often entered into when an employee’s current position within a company has been terminated. The termination can be due to redundancy, unfair or wrongful dismissal, or a mutual agreement between an employee and employer to leave a position otherwise than in accordance with the terms of a Contract of Employment.
It is usual that an employer will cover your legal costs of a Settlement Agreement and as such they will advise you as to the level of costs that they are willing to pay or contribute. Sometimes they will pay your solicitor directly and at other times they will ask you to pay the fees and then they will reimburse you.
