The Voluntary Redundancy Settlement Agreement is used when organizations in England and Wales are implementing workforce reductions and employees have volunteered to leave in exchange for enhanced benefits. This document serves as a comprehensive record of the termination arrangements, typically including financial terms, timing of departure, treatment of benefits, and waiver of claims. It provides legal protection for both parties by clearly stating their obligations and rights, while ensuring compliance with UK employment law requirements. The agreement must be accompanied by independent legal advice to the employee to be legally valid.
