A settlement agreement is a legal document to settle a dispute between you and your employer, ending your employment contract on terms you both agree to. This typically includes responsibilities for the employer – for example, a payment – and responsibilities for you – typically, to not bring forward any claims of wrongful dismissal or breach of contract. Settlement agreements are drafted by your employer and become binding when signed by you, your employer, and your legal adviser.
Employees are legally required to take independent, qualified advice on the terms and effects of the settlement agreement. Advice from a specialist in employment law is key to understanding what the settlement agreement includes, whether anything is missing, and whether you should accept the offer or seek better terms.
Since independent legal advice is required for the settlement agreement to be binding, employers pay the cost in most cases. In the first instance, your employer may offer a contribution toward your legal fees, rather than the full rate. This can usually be increased through negotiation by a qualified employment law team.
The main advantage of a signed settlement agreement is that you’ll typically get a lump sum payment. This is above and beyond any amount you would usually receive, including notice pay. Generally, this lump sum is tax free up to £30,000.
Negotiations can be challenging, but a specialist in employment law can work on your behalf, using experience from across similar agreements. An employer’s first offer is a starting point – and rarely the final position. An employment lawyer can use experience, knowledge and proven tactics to support your negotiation. Ultimately, the negotiation potential will be determined by the potential claims you have, the quality of your initial offer, and whether any negotiation has already taken place.
