Employer FAQs: Compromise Agreements

Why do I have to pay the employee's legal fees?

It is a legal requirement. For a compromise (settlement) agreement to be valid and waive the employee's right to bring a claim, they must have received independent legal advice. The law stipulates that the employer must make a contribution towards these legal fees. This payment is a necessary investment to ensure the agreement is legally binding.

Can't I just write my own agreement using a template?

This is extremely risky. A template cannot account for the specific circumstances of the employee's departure or include the precise clauses needed to protect your business (e.g., intellectual property, client non-solicitation). An improperly drafted agreement can be worthless, leaving you exposed to the very claims you are trying to prevent.

What happens if the employee wants to negotiate the terms?

This is a very common part of the process. We act as your expert negotiators, handling all communication with the employee's solicitor. Our goal is to manage their expectations and reach a commercially sensible agreement swiftly, avoiding protracted and costly disputes.
