A compromise agreement may be used by an employer to terminate a contract of employment. An employment solicitor will offer advice to help you get the most from your situation. We recognise that employment solicitors need to have strong negotiation skills and excellent attention to detail. That is why at we take the time to understand our client's objectives with a view to delivering high quality advice and excellent client care.
Compromise agreement advice may be provided over the telephone. If you prefer to visit our offices in person, please give us a call to arrange an appointment. In both cases, we offer a free no-obligation chat about your employment situation so that you can get to know us and decide whether we are the right law firm for you. If you decide to instruct us, our case management system allows you to manage your case on-line and via email.
A compromise agreement may be used by an employer in the following situations:
1) if the employee has a claim against the employer; and
2) the employer or employee wants to attach conditions to the termination of employment.
A Compromise agreement will allow the employer to terminate employment without following the usual procedures required by law. You will usually receive a sum of money you sign and agree to the terms. In order to create a legally binding agreement your employment solicitor will ensure that it:
1) relates to a specific complaint or named proceedings;
2) is in writing; and
3) legal advice has been obtained by the employee from an independent source.
As experts in our field, we will arrange all of the above for you and ensure that the termination of your employment is handled professionally. If you feel that you are in need of a compromise agreement, contact us today to ensure a swift resolution to your employment situation.
