Settlement agreements allow employers to settle or prevent potential claims by employees. In return for waiving your right to bring future claims (with some exceptions), you will receive compensation. If you choose not to sign, your employer may withhold the compensation or offer a reduced amount.
Your settlement agreement should specify the payment timeframe. If you’re unsure or need clarification, please contact us for assistance.
No. You will receive the full compensation. In most cases, your employer will cover our legal fees entirely.
Tax implications depend on the payment breakdown:
If you need more specific advice, ask us or consult an independent financial advisor. Be aware that most agreements stipulate you are responsible for any tax or NI the Inland Revenue later deems payable.
After signing, your ability to bring claims is typically limited to:
This depends on whether the agreement includes a confidentiality clause. Some clauses restrict disclosure of the agreement’s terms (such as the compensation amount), while others may prohibit disclosing the agreement itself. Contact us if you have questions about confidentiality.
Many agreements include a non-derogatory statements/non-disparagement clause. This prevents you from making negative remarks about your employer or its staff. Be mindful of your comments, especially in public forums.
This depends on the confidentiality and non-derogatory statements clauses. Always seek advice before speaking to the media after signing a settlement agreement.
Employers are not generally obligated to provide references, but any reference they give must be accurate and fair. We can help negotiate the inclusion of a reference clause in your agreement. Note that this may delay the signing process.
An “entire agreement” clause means verbal promises or informal assurances not written in the agreement are unenforceable. For example, if your employer verbally agrees to provide a reference but it’s not in the signed document, you cannot rely on it legally.
