It is in your employer’s best interest to ensure that by signing a settlement agreement, you waive your right to bring almost every possible type of employment claim against them.

There are certain statutory and personal injury claims that cannot be covered by a settlement agreement. These include:

• not consulting or informing representatives in a redundancy process
• not consulting or informing, failing to provide employee liability information, or failing to pay certain compensation under the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006 (TUPE)
• a personal injury that only became apparent after you signed the agreement.

In most cases, your employer will demand a guarantee that you have no further Employment Tribunal claims than those listed in the agreement.
