Settlement Agreements are frequently utilised where the employment relationship is brought to an end by mutual consent. They provide the only legally binding mechanism through which an employer may offer compensation to an employee while securing assurance that no subsequent claims will be pursued. In most cases, the employee receives an ex gratia payment in addition to their contractual or statutory entitlements as consideration for waiving their rights to bring any future claims. For employers, introducing the prospect of a Settlement Agreement can be a delicate matter, often requiring careful negotiation and professional legal guidance.
