For Employees

Employers sometimes offer an employee a compromise or severance agreement when terminating their employment.

The basis of a compromise agreement is that the employer offers you some further financial compensation or other incentive to enter into the compromise agreement and in turn, by signing the agreement, you give up your right to bring an employment related claim against your employer.

We are experts in advising employees on compromise agreements.  We can deal with your agreement speedily and efficiently.  We’ll explain everything in plain English and we can advise you immediately over the telephone.

If you are offered a compromise agreement, you should take independent legal advice on the agreement as soon as possible because under employment legislation, a compromise agreement is not binding unless you have taken advice on it from an independent adviser.

Borg Knight Employment Solicitors can advise you on any potential claims you may have, can negotiate the best compensation package in the circumstances and will ensure that the wording of the agreement is adequately drafted to provide you with the necessary protection you need.

Although the majority of Compromise Agreements concern redundancy or other dismissal, this isn't always the case as Compromise Agreements may be negotiated for other claims such as discrimination.

Giving your employee a Compromise Agreement can act as security that an issue that was believed to be settled does not return unexpectedly at a later date. It can also be a way of concluding a matter speedily and cost-effectively.
