Often employees are concerned when faced with a Settlement / Compromise Agreement that it contains a long list of claims that they have no intention of bringing and often don't understand. The legal reason for this is that the courts have said that if a potential claim is not listed the employee might still be able to bring such a claim even after the agreement is signed. The employer is therefore careful to try to include all possible claims as a "belt and braces" approach.
Basically the agreement will settle all employment claims that you may have against your employer so that once the agreement is signed you may not bring a claim in the Employment Tribunal. It usually does not settle pension or personal injury claims.
