    What Is a Compromise Agreement?

    A compromise agreement is a legally binding contract between you and your employer, used to resolve employment matters or confirm the terms of your departure. In most cases, it provides a financial payment in exchange for agreeing not to pursue future claims. It’s important to seek independent legal advice before signing to ensure the terms are fair and protect your rights.

    How We Support You With Your Compromise Agreement

    If you’ve been offered a compromise agreement, our team will ensure you fully understand what you’re signing and that the offer reflects your legal entitlements. At My Compromise Agreement, we provide clear, fast, and practical advice to help you achieve the best result possible.

    Our Service Includes:

    • Clear Legal Guidance – We explain the agreement, potential risks, and your available options in plain English.
    • Professional Negotiation – We negotiate directly with your employer to secure improved terms when appropriate.
    • Swift Completion – Most agreements are finalised and signed within 24 hours of your consultation.

    Our remote service means you can receive expert legal support from anywhere in England or Wales, without the need to visit an office.

    Your Employer Covers the Cost – Always.

    Your employer will normally pay for your legal advice as part of the compromise agreement. You’ll never pay more than what your employer contributes, and there are no hidden costs or hourly charges.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Why do I need to sign a compromise agreement?

    A compromise agreement allows your employer to bring your employment to a close or resolve a dispute in a legally secure way. In exchange for compensation, you agree not to pursue certain legal claims. If you choose not to sign, your employer may withhold or reduce the compensation offer.

    When will I receive my compromise agreement payment?

    The payment date should be clearly stated in your agreement. If it’s not or you’re unsure about the timeline, our team can review it for you and clarify when you can expect the funds.

    Will your fees be deducted from my compensation?

    No. You’ll receive the full amount agreed. In almost all cases, your employer covers our legal fees entirely as part of the compromise agreement process.

    Do I need to pay tax on my compromise agreement payment?

    It depends on how the payment is structured:

    • Salary and holiday pay – taxed as usual and subject to National Insurance (NI).
    • Compensation for loss of employment – usually tax-free up to £30,000.
    • Payments in lieu of notice (PILON) – generally taxable and subject to NI.

    If you’re unsure, we’ll help you understand any potential tax implications. Note: most agreements confirm that the employee is responsible for any future tax adjustments required by HMRC.

    Are there any claims I can still bring after signing?

    Once signed, you’ll usually give up your right to bring most employment-related claims. However, you can still bring claims for:

    1. Breach of contract – if your employer doesn’t comply with the agreed terms.
    2. Personal injury – for injuries or illnesses that weren’t known at the time of signing.
    3. Pension rights – any accrued pension entitlements remain unaffected.
    Can I discuss my compromise agreement with others?

    That depends on your confidentiality clause. Many agreements limit what you can share about the terms, such as compensation details. We’ll explain exactly what you can and can’t discuss before you sign.

    Can I speak openly about my employer now?

    Most agreements contain a ‘non-disparagement’ clause, which prevents negative or damaging comments about your employer or its staff. It’s best to avoid public criticism, especially on social media, to stay within the terms of your agreement.

    Can I speak to the press about my situation?

    Possibly, but only in limited circumstances. Confidentiality and non-derogatory clauses usually restrict what you can say publicly. Always seek our advice before sharing information with journalists or the media.

    Will I get a reference from my employer?

    Employers aren’t required by law to provide a reference, but any reference they do provide must be accurate and fair. We can help you request that a reference clause be included in your compromise agreement to protect your future job prospects.

    What does the ‘entire agreement’ clause mean?

    This clause means that only what’s written in the agreement is legally binding. Any verbal promises or side agreements made outside of the written document won’t be enforceable, so it’s important to ensure everything agreed upon is included in writing before you sign.

    What can we help you with?

    Our specialist Compromise Agreement Solicitors are here to answer your questions, explain your options and make the process straightforward.

    I’ve been offered a compromise agreement. What should I do?

    Don’t worry – we’ll review the offer, explain exactly what it means, and make sure the terms protect your rights. We can often get your agreement signed off on the same day.

    I think my compensation is too low. Can it be improved?

    Possibly. We can negotiate directly with your employer to seek a higher payout or fairer terms. You won’t pay anything – your employer typically covers all legal fees.

    My employer wants me to resign – do I have to sign?

    No – you’re under no obligation to sign anything until you’ve had independent legal advice. We’ll assess whether the offer is fair and discuss your best next steps confidentially.

    I’ve already signed, but I’m having second thoughts. What can I do?

    It may still be possible to address certain issues, but time is crucial. Contact us straight away and we’ll review whether anything can be done to protect your position.

    I’m being made redundant – is a compromise agreement the same thing?

    Redundancy and compromise agreements often overlap. We’ll make sure your redundancy terms are fair, your notice pay is correct, and any tax-free payments are maximised.

    I’ve been offered a COT3 agreement through ACAS – do I need advice?

    Yes. A COT3 agreement has the same legal effect as a compromise agreement. We’ll review the terms, ensure you’re not waiving any important rights, and confirm it’s in your best interests.
