As employment law solicitors we have tremendous experience in advising on matters ranging from unfair dismissal to redundancy, including advising on the terms of compromise agreements. Something that we have seen more of is where an employer includes provisions in an employee’s compromise agreement to the effect that, if any litigation or tribunal matters involving the employer were to arise within a certain period of time (usually 1 year), the employer is entitled to call on the employee to assist or provide evidence, where necessary. Usually employers would reimburse those employees for reasonable expenses incurred in providing assistance, for example travel expenses. As one might expect, the inclusion of such provisions is normally dependant on the position or job the employee held.
