Compromise Agreements

An Employer dare not just agree a compensation package with a leaving Employee. The Employee may pocket the money and still sue the Employer for any or more of the many possible employment claims – unfair dismissal, wrongful dismissal, unfair selection for redundancy, discrimination on the grounds of race, sex, and religion age and so on.

The only thing an Employer can do to prevent this is by requiring the Employee to sign a properly drawn up compromise agreement in front of a solicitor. The Employer normally foots the bill of the solicitor, so there is no cost to the Employee

We draw up such Compromise Agreements and in other circumstances, we act as the solicitor advising the Employee on one. Amongst many other things, the Employee wants to know whether the compensation package could be bettered, what the tax implications are and the limits of any restrictions imposed
