Settlement Agreements Wrexham

Settlement Agreements in Business

Because of the risks involved, employers often make use of Settlement Agreements during the redundancy process and this, therefore, creates a redundancy agreement. A settlement agreement allows the employer to terminate the employee’s contract and prevents the employee from suing their former employer.

In return for accepting a settlement agreement or redundancy agreement, employees are usually awarded a lump sum of money. The figure is generally up for negotiation, but the employee usually finds that this figure of money is more generous than the statutory redundancy pay that they would receive.   As part of the settlement agreement, an employer may also provide a reference for the employee, the wording of which can be agreed by the parties.

Settlement Agreements can therefore be advantageous for all parties involved as the employer reduces their workforce and protects themselves from the threat of legal action and the employee receives a redundancy package and avoids the long process of being made redundant or alternatively receives a severance payment to resolve an employment dispute.
