SUMMARY:Drafting Effective Settlement Agreements - July 29\, 2026
DESCRIPTION:Most Federal agencies settle employment disputes — whether they are initiated as grievances\, EEO complaints\, or appeals of agency disciplinary actions. While it’s common to assume that settlement means the agency has a flaw in its case\, it has no direct tie to liability or admissions of wrongdoing. Often\, it’s the most efficient and effective way to handle a dispute and allow you to get back to focusing on your agency’s mission. \nThis class will discuss the roles and responsibilities of individuals involved in settlement discussions and will cover why and when you should consider settlement as an option. Concepts including confidentiality\, legality\, and enforceability will be explained. \nThis training will also cover specific settlement terms that may be negotiated\, including references\, compensatory damages\, reinstatement or promotions\, modifications to benefits\, clean records\, and more. \nLearning objectives\n\nImplement best practices when drafting plain-language agreements.\nUnderstand how negotiations can shape a possible agreement.\nIdentify the limits on settlement terms.\n\nTraining time\n1:00 pm – 4:30 pm ET \nPricing\nEarly bird (register by June 28\, 2025): $550.00 \nStandard (register June 29 – July 29\, 2025): 650.00 \nEvent FAQs\nCan I attend this class using my government computer?\nThis event will be held on Zoom. Many government computers and systems allow access to Zoom. If\, for some reason\, your firewall will not allow access\, you are welcome to use your personal email address to register and to attend the sessions from your personal device. Dial-in telephone access is also available. \nCan I earn CLE credits for this class?\nCLE applications are the responsibility of each attendee; FELTG does not apply for the credits on behalf of attendees. If you are seeking CLE credit\, you may use the materials provided by FELTG in submission to your state bar. You may also request a certificate of completion\, which will contain the number of training hours attended. \nCan I share my access link with co-workers?\nNo. Registration for this event is per individual\, and access links may not be shared. Each link may only be used by one person. \nCan I register a teleworker?\nThis event is individual registration\, so the cost is the same whether the person is teleworking or attending from an agency facility. \nHow do I receive a group discount?\nGroup discounts are available for agencies registering 10 or more individuals for the full event and are available through the early bird registration deadline. The group discount must be requested in writing with registration submission via email or fax. \nWhat are the Substitute\, Cancellation\, and No-show Policies for registered participants?\nSubstitutions may be made at no cost with advance notice to FELTG.
