Employees facing redundancy should be wary of indemnity clauses contained in their compromise agreements. We have seen employers use very wide indemnity clauses whereby the employees would be required to indemnify the employers for all losses in connection with breaches of the compromise agreements. Employees should seek legal advice with regard to such clauses to have such […]
