Document background
The Full and Final Settlement Agreement is a crucial legal document used in Irish employment law contexts when an employment relationship is being terminated or an employment-related dispute is being resolved. It serves as a comprehensive settlement of all claims between employer and employee, providing certainty and closure for both parties. The document is typically used in situations involving redundancy, mutual separation, resolution of workplace disputes, or settlement of potential claims. It must comply with Irish employment law requirements, including the necessity for independent legal advice for the employee. The agreement covers various aspects including financial settlements, tax treatment, confidentiality provisions, and mutual obligations, while ensuring all statutory requirements under Irish law are met. This type of agreement is particularly important as it provides protection for both parties by preventing future claims and clearly documenting the terms of settlement.
