The parties may have a dispute and reach certain agreements with each other in that context. In this case, it is wise to record those agreements in a so-called settlement agreement, abbreviated as VSO. That way you and your employer know where you stand when your employment contract is terminated.

The agreement makes important arrangements about how you will separate. Clear and unambiguous agreements on paper can save going to court. If one of the parties does not comply with the agreements made, a settlement agreement can provide clarity in court, saving time and costs.

A settlement agreement can be entered into to prevent or terminate an existing dispute. Usually this agreement is preceded by settlement negotiations.
