What is a Settlement Agreement?
A Settlement Agreement, formerly known as a Compromise Agreement, is a legally binding contract between employers and employees. It is typically used to resolve disputes or end employment on agreed terms. It often involves a financial settlement in exchange for waiving your right to bring claims against your employer and keeping thing confidential.
