Masterclass: Mutual Separation Agreements

Instructor:

Mutual Separation Agreements and Full & Final Settlements are frequently used by employers to resolve workplace disputes, facilitate exits and minimise legal risk. Yet many businesses apply them incorrectly, resulting in disputes, unenforceable agreements and allegations of unfair conduct.
