What is a Settlement Agreement?
Sometimes still referred to as a Compromise Agreement, a Settlement Agreement is a legally binding contract between an employer and employee that settles potential or existing employment disputes. It essentially functions as a “clean break” for both parties, resolving the issue and preventing further action such as court or tribunal proceedings.
Settlement Agreements are most commonly used by employers when ending the employment relationship.
What are the key elements of a Settlement Agreement?
- Financial settlement: The employer typically offers a payment to the employee as compensation for settling any existing or potential claims.
- Full and final settlement: The employee agrees to waive their right to pursue claims against the employer.
- Confidentiality: Both parties may agree to keep the terms of the agreement confidential.
- Non-disparagement clause: This restricts both parties from making negative comments about the other party publicly.
