What is a Settlement Agreement, and can I get a Settlement Agreement Online?
A Settlement Agreement (previously referred to as a Compromise Agreement) is a legal contract drawn up between an employer and an employee. It outlines all terms and any payments due when employment terminates for whatever reason. It is possible to receive Settle Agreement services remotely without meeting face to face. Documents can be signed via scanning, electric signatures or post, which takes away the need to meet in person. Negotiations with your employee can occur via phone or any video communication software such as Zoom, Teams, Skype, etc.
A Settlement Agreement will result in a sum of money, known as an exit package or severance pay, being paid to the employee by the employer. This figure will vary depending on factors such as holiday paid owed, redundancy pay or compensation for loss of earnings plus any benefit or bonus scheme entitlements. Once the Settlement Agreement has been signed off, the employee will not be entitled to contest this sum or enter into further legal disputes. A Settlement Agreement is designed to ensure a fair outcome for all parties involved without the need for complex legal proceedings.
Currently, in the UK, employers are not specifically legally required to provide an employee with a Settlement Agreement. If you don't get offered one, firstly, you can ask your employer or HR manager to draw one up. Next, make sure you consult the services of a Settlement Agreement Solicitor with a good reputation (please read our reviews!). A Settlement Agreement will become a legal document if the employee has used the services of a suitably qualified employment lawyer such as the team here at Settlement Agreement Services.
Please get in touch or read through our Settlement Agreement FAQs if you have further questions. We have helped hundreds of people all over the UK with our remote service, and we would be happy to assist with your Settlement Agreement online.
