You have to remember that your employer’s motivation in entering into a settlement agreement is to ensure you leave the company and do not make a Tribunal claim. Leaving your job before signing an agreement removes much of the need for the employer to be generous, or even reasonable. Compensation is to make up for lost wages whilst you are looking for a new job. If you have already started a new position, the requirement to compensate you disappears.
