QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about settlement agreements. Clear up any uncertainties and gain insights into processes and terms, ensuring transparency and peace of mind.

A Settlement Agreement is a written agreement between an employee and employer to settle any employment law claims the employee might have against the employer. They are used to resolve employment disputes and/or to deal with termination of employment. They are most commonly used when employment is being terminated.

To be legally valid, a settlement agreement must:

Be in writing.
Relate to a particular complaint or particular proceedings.
Only be signed after the employee has received independent legal advice from an identified advisor who holds the required professional indemnity insurance.
State that the conditions regulating settlement agreements under the relevant statutory provisions have been satisfied.

The absence of any one of these stipulations will render the agreement null and void.

They are often used in situations where an employer and employee feel that their employment relationship is no longer working and a 'clean break' is the best way forward. Or where there is a dispute for example when an employee has raised a grievance or quite simply, when the employee for whatever reason wishes to leave the employer.

Cost-Effective Resolution. One of the main benefits of resolving disputes through settlement agreements is the potential cost savings they offer both employers and employees. Defending or bringing a tribunal case can be expensive, given the legal fees, potential compensation payouts, and lost working hours. They offer a guaranteed payment as opposed to when bringing a claim. Further, they can allow employers to make tax free payments under the prescribed limit (presently £30,000).

Settlement Agreement amounts depend from case to case. There is no legal minimum for Settlement Agreement payments, but in the event of compensation for termination of employment, between two and three months’ gross salary in addition to notice pay is about average. Settlement Agreement amounts in cases of whistleblowing or discrimination are often much higher.
