Best Discrimination Solicitors in Blackburn

Disputes within the workplace can be stressful and difficult to resolve. If you believe you are being treated unfairly by your employer, you may be considering trying to settle the dispute through an Employment Tribunal. You may also have been asked by your employer to sign a ‘Compromise Agreement’ to resolve the issue. If this is the case, it is a requirement that you seek legal advice prior to signing the agreement. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐒𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐫 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐀𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭? A Compromise Agreement - now more commonly known as a Settlement Agreement - is a legally binding contract entered by two parties in which one party agrees to not bring claims against the other in exchange for financial compensation. They are often used between employers and their employees to eliminate the risk of legal action being taken against a business. 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐈 𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧 𝐚 𝐒𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐀𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭?
