The reason why an employer contributes to an employee’s legal costs is to ensure that the employee receives independent legal advice. The idea is that the lawyer will run through the terms of the compromise agreement and the implication, so that the employee would have a sound appreciation of what the employee is signing. This is crucial as there is no come back, once the document is signed by both parties and it becomes a binding agreement.
