Separation or Settlement Agreements are high-risk, high-impact legal instruments used to formally conclude employment relationships, particularly where legal exposure, reputational sensitivity, or financial negotiation is involved. They are commonly deployed in situations such as termination for alleged misconduct, performance-based termination, redundancy or restructuring, executive exits, constructive dismissal allegations, grievance escalation, whistleblowing disputes, harassment or discrimination complaints, settlement of matters before the National Labour Commission and threatened civil litigation.
