Where the parties are able to reach an agreement a compromise agreement may be appropriate. A compromise agreement is legally binding and contains the terms of settlement, in return for which the employee agrees to waive any right to bring a claim against the employer in an Employment Tribunal. A compromise agreement is the only enforceable way in which an employee can give up statutory rights to bring a claim and the employee must seek independent advice on the terms of the agreement before it is signed. We have considerable experience in this area and are able to offer relevant advice to both employers and employees.
