I came to a compromise agreement to avoid a constructive dismissal case. Basically, my previous employer was sold and has now been renamed. I recieved a letter today to advise me that part of my settlement agreement is being withdrawn (life time discount). Can they do this? Is was the most important to me due to the financial saving. I had worked for them over 20 years and they made a number of errors including the management of my redundancy. Hence e agreement. I basically only wanted what was due to me I.e. my redundancy package so, I wasn't unreasonable! Feeling stressed. This was an awful part of my working life.

Constructive dismissal cases have a very low success rate, estimated at just around 3% However, employers often find it easier and cheaper to offer a settlement than to hire lawyers and put a case together. A friend of mine submitted a constructive dismissal claim in 2008 and was also offered a small settlement and an agreed reference (mine was for unfair dismissal).

Re: Compromise Aggreeement
Originally posted by QCKate View PostI think there's a Beagler who's an expert on employment law who will be ablke to confirm Caroline but if the agreement has been signed by both parties Im sure the answer to your question is NO. The company that took over your employer will be liable for all their obligations. Did you get legal advise before you signed the agrement?
