Clause in settlement agreement
Hi all.
I've been offered a settlement agreement by my employer and there is one clause I'm concerned about.
It states that, at the date of signing, I warrant that I am not employed elsewhere, am not negotiating another role, and have not received or accepted another job offer.
I have accepted a future job offer that doesn't start until after my employment with my current employer will end.
Is this type of clause standard boilerplate in settlement agreements? If it doesn't reflect my circumstances, is it something that is commonly amended or removed during the negotiation process, or is it usually left as-is?
I'm taking independent legal advice, but I was interested to hear whether HR professionals see this clause changed in practice.
Thanks.
