Originally known as compromise agreements, settlement agreements came into force in Jul7 2013 as part of a wider shake-up of employment laws in the UK.

Settlement agreement documents are usually passed to an employee when they are being made redundant - whether it is on a voluntary or compulsory basis. However, settlement agreements can also be used by employers when they feel an employee is guilty of misconduct or performing particularly badly in their job.

Obviously the content of a settlement agreement will vary from case to case, but typically they cover: the claim to be settled, the payment the employee will receive, relevant tax issues, confidentiality clause and any agreed reference from the employer.

It is important to remember that if you are offered a settlement agreement and sign it straight away, there is no going back. This is why you should always take advice from employment law solicitors Manchester before signing anything. A firm such as Analysis Legal, with their breadth of knowledge and vast experience of settlement agreements from both sides, will be able to offer you clear and sound advice.

Analysis Legal will check the settlement agreement closely for you, to ensure you are getting a good deal, whether the employee has put any hidden traps into the document, and whether you have any grounds for a claim against your employer - for unfair dismissal for example.

The team at Analysis Legal will work closely with you to ensure they build up a clear picture of you and your situation, and this will enable them to help you better. They work in a transparent and totally honest way, and their aim is to be affordable to all.
