Where an employee has accepted a compromise agreement instead of going through a disciplinary procedure, we have found that employers are less accommodating on certain points of the offer. It is down to hard negotiations and whether the employee really wants to incur such costs for negotiations. In saying that, however, there are key points that must still be included in the compromise agreement irrespective of the parties’ wishes.

An employee must take seriously an employer’s offer comprised in a compromise agreement. Most employers give a short timeframe in which to accept their offer. This means the employee obtaining independent legal advice and signing the compromise agreement within the time scale. In cases where the deadline is missed, the employee may not receive an enhanced payment. This is relevant in situations of redundancy or dismissal.

Employees should note that where a compromise agreement contains a provision allowing an employer to request the employee’s assistance in the future in any litigation or external investigations against the employer, the employee should ensure that the provision contains an obligation to cover reasonable expenses incurred by the employee in providing such assistance.

If you are an employee you should be aware of a warranty that may be included in your compromise agreement. The warranty would state that the employee confirms that the employee has not accepted an offer of employment. An employe is at risk of being in breach of the employee’s compromise agreement, if the empployee accepts an offer of employment prior to the termination of the employee’s existing employment.

During the redundancy process, some employees are attempting to negotiate offers made by their employers when they are in a weak barganing position. Any offer must be weighted up and, if in doubt, take legal advice on the offer and the terms of your compromise agreement.
