Employment Settlement Agreements: What You Need to Know
Settlement agreements are commonly used to resolve workplace issues and bring employment relationships to an agreed end. They set out the terms on which both parties agree to settle potential claims and move forward without further dispute. In England and Wales, settlement agreements operate within the framework of the Employment Rights Act 1996.
What Is a Settlement Agreement?
A settlement agreement is a legally binding agreement between an employer and an employee. It is typically used to record the terms on which an employment relationship ends or a dispute is resolved, providing clarity and finality for both parties.

Entering into a settlement agreement can involve important legal and financial considerations. Understanding the implications of the terms and the rights involved is an important step before agreeing to any arrangement.
