Settlement Agreement Solicitors in Milton Keynes
A Settlement Agreement is a legally binding resolution between an employer and an employee. They typically take place where an employer seeks to terminate an employment contract, and offers a financial payment to settle possible claims of the employee to avoid further litigation. Usually the agreement consists of the employee’s agreement to end their employment, possibly because of redundancy, but it can be for many other reasons, in return for financial compensation.
If an employer approaches you with a settlement agreement offer, you should be wary. Employers can attempt to take advantage of employees and fail to offer the financial compensation they are entitled to.
Under the law, the terms of a settlement agreement only become binding once an employee has taken legal advice from a solicitor. In most cases, the employer is responsible for some or all of the legal costs incurred by an employee during this process.
