D4e5 - Can a receipt in full and final settlement be revoked?

Yes.

The receipt in full and final settlement may be revoked by registered letter within 3 months following its signature.

To produce its effects, the revocation must be accompanied by a brief statement of reasons and the rights invoked must be indicated.

The employee must thus indicate in the revocation the items of the receipt in full and final settlement that he disputes and specify the reasons for challenging them.

The employee cannot therefore simply revoke a receipt in general terms. In such a case, the revocation will have no effect.

Nota Bene

A receipt in full and final settlement, duly revoked or incapable of having a discharging effect, has the value of only a simple receipt for the sums to which it refers.
