What is a Compromise Agreement?

A “Compromise Agreement” is a way in which employees and Employers can legally settle a dispute arising under a contract of employment. Section 203 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 ("ERA") stops an Employer in the UK from forcing an employee to sign away their legal rights except where a Compromise Agreement is used. Negotiating a Compromise Agreement is often straightforward but in some cases can prove to be more difficult. For instance, the employee may put a value on his or her claims above the amount the Employer is prepared to offer under the Compromise Agreement even though such amount may be above the employee's strict legal entitlement.
