About this template
What is this template?
This is a compromise deed specifically for settling claims arising from workplace accidents. It is not a general employment contract or a redundancy agreement, as it focuses exclusively on releasing liability for physical injury in exchange for a one-time payment. It contains specific placeholders for Board Resolution dates and the company's common seal.
When should you use it?
Use this document when an accident has occurred in a factory or workplace and both parties agree to a settlement amount instead of going to a tribunal. Use a Settlement Agreement (Employment) if the dispute is about termination or wages rather than a physical injury covered by the Workmen's Compensation Act.
What's inside
| Clause | Name | What it does |
|---|---|---|

| 2 | Medical Expenses | The Employer pays a separate sum in Rupees to cover the costs of the Workman's medical attendance and expenses. |
| Final unnumbered paragraph | Full Discharge and Release | The Workman accepts the payments as full discharge of all liability under the Workmen's Compensation Act and releases all future damage claims. |
Who it's for
- an Indian company settling an injury claim with a factory worker to avoid litigation
