Compromise agreement

A colleague of mine in a very similar position has received a very healthy compromise settlement yet I have been told that this offer is not available to me as the company have no reason to want to lose me. Is there any way I can enforce the company to make me the same offer.

    No.

    And if anyone finds out that you know about this then his deal may not be all that good - they are supposed to be confidential.

    No - they don't want you to leave so no reason to give you money.

    They want to get rid of your colleague. They don't have grounds to sack him or make his position redundant. Therefore that offer him a compromise agreement which means effectively that they at paying him off.

    They don't want to sack you or make your position redundant. Therefore you can't have a compromise agreement. If you discuss the terms of your friends compromise agreement with anyone, you could well be disciplined.

    Not that you are under any obligation to your employer in respect of this agreement unless you played a part in setting it up on behalf of the company or know about it from a role in management.
