Settlement agreements

Whether it's due to economic reasons or personal grounds (underperformance, culpable behavior, disrupted working relationship), sometimes it is better to terminate the employment contract with an employee. It is always preferable for the employer and employee to discuss the terms of a potential termination. If the parties can reach an agreement, they can document the terms in a settlement agreement (termination agreement).
