    2 Reviews

    This agreement includes the legal provisions to qualify a compromise agreement so as to prevent a later claim before the court. It is drawn primarily with a view to settling a claim by a more expensive employee. The agreement can however, be used with the same effect for a case involving a more junior staff member.
