Document background
The Bullying Settlement Agreement is utilized when resolving workplace bullying incidents or claims in Ireland, whether they are ongoing, recently reported, or historic cases. This document serves as a formal resolution mechanism that protects both employer and employee interests while ensuring compliance with Irish employment law and workplace safety regulations. It typically comes into play after internal grievance procedures have been exhausted or when parties agree to settle a potential or actual legal claim. The agreement details settlement terms, confidentiality obligations, and necessary waivers, while ensuring the employee has received independent legal advice as required under Irish law. It may be used in conjunction with employment termination or as part of a continuing employment arrangement, depending on the circumstances and agreement between parties.
