Settlement Agreement Revoked
The indication of a « reason to leave » in a transaction agreement usually does not matter. However, if both parties are bound by confidentiality, it may be helpful to agree on what you are going to tell your friends/colleagues and potential future employers about the reasons for your departure. Frequent reasons are « dismissal » and « mutual agreement », but some agreements do not mention the reason for the withdrawal at all. It`s important to determine what your employer is going to tell potential future employers about your job and why you left – for example, by agreeing on the wording used in each reference they provide. Apart from their respective rights, employers will also strive to ensure that there are no other possible rights that you may assert against them in the future.
