If you are employed in today’s world then you should really be aware of a compromise agreement especially with the economic environment the way it is. A compromise agreement could be used by your employer to get rid of your services and if that is the case you need to know what they are and more importantly how to deal with them.

A compromise agreement is a way for an employer and employee to come to a full and final settlement that prevents either side from taking things further. On their part they may wish to stop you from taking them to tribunal if they are making you redundant without good cause or stopping you from working for a competitor after you leave taking your knowledge with you.

For your part you can use compromise agreements to your advantage.
