    Compromise Agreement Claim

     

    A compromise agreement in the UK is classed as a specific type of contract between an employer and their employee or former employee and this is where employee’s receive recognition usually in the form of compensation in exchange for agreeing that no further legal action will be taken against them in an employment tribunal. This will generally occur when an employer has breached their statutory obligation in regards to the employee’s contract.

    The CIPD performed a survey in March 2011 and found that the average compensation package within the UK made under a compromise agreement was £10,000 with one in five employees generally receiving a payment of over £25,000.
