Being involved in a dispute with your employer can be stressful, especially if you don’t know your rights. At Fairmont, we provide expert legal advice to those who need it. We support all of our clients to help them work towards the best possible outcome for their situation.
If you feel stuck in a situation where you’ve received a settlement offer from your employer, and you’re feeling unsure about whether the amount offered to you is a fair reflection of your circumstances. Our expert team can review the settlement agreement and help you to understand what you are agreeing to and also check if the settlement offer you’ve received is fair.
A settlement agreement is a legally binding contract between you and your employer which is often formed in the event of an employment dispute or other issues within the workplace. This agreement outlines the agreed terms, as well as ending the employment through a mutual agreement between you and your employer. This agreement is essentially put in place to avoid employees from making claims against their employer, and in return, the employee may receive a settlement payment or other benefits.
A settlement agreement may be used by employers and their employees in events such as redundancies, grievances within a workplace or other employment disputes.
At Fairmount, we collectively have more than 100 years of legal experience and industry knowledge in dealing with a wide range of employment disputes. We help all our clients by taking time to review any settlement agreement to help ensure you receive the best possible outcome for your circumstances. In some cases, we may also be able to negotiate with your employer on your behalf to help you obtain a more suitable settlement to reflect your situation.
