Document background
The Agreed Reference Settlement Agreement is commonly used when an employment relationship has ended and both parties wish to establish clear parameters for future references. This document, governed by English and Welsh law, provides certainty about the content and format of employment references, protecting both the employer's interests and the employee's future career prospects. It typically arises during settlement negotiations or as part of a wider settlement agreement, ensuring consistency in how the employer responds to reference requests and minimizing the risk of future disputes or claims.
