Do I have to agree to a settlement agreement?
No, it is not mandatory for you to agree to a settlement agreement. However, you should know the terms and conditions of the agreement and any possible consequences of signing or not signing. That is why you should get independent legal advice.
What happens if I refuse a settlement agreement?
If you refuse to sign a settlement agreement, your employer may still be able to terminate your employment. While it is is voluntary, it is best to get legal advice so you can make a more informed decision about whether or not you should sign your settlement agreement.
How much can I get from a settlement agreement?
The amount you get from a settlement agreement will depend on your particular situation. Factors affecting the amount you could get include details of your contract and how long you have been employed by your employer. An independent advisor can help you decide if you’re getting a fair payment.
Can I negotiate a settlement agreement?
Yes, if you are unhappy with what you’ve been offered, you can negotiate on your settlement agreement. You have the right to negotiate terms and your employer might be expecting a counteroffer. If you are still unhappy after the negotiation, you are not obligated to agree.
