Many employees reach a point where the working relationship has broken down and staying feels impossible. In the right circumstances, you may be able to ask for a settlement agreement and negotiate a clean exit.
Employment Law Partner Natalie Abbott explains how a settlement agreement can help you move forward with certainty and financial security.
What is a settlement agreement?
A settlement agreement is a legally binding, voluntary agreement. It brings an employment relationship to an end on agreed terms. They’re often proposed by employers to avoid disputes, formal procedures, or tribunal claims.
Employees can also raise the possibility of a settlement agreement. This is typically done where the working relationship has broken down irretrievably.
