Settlement discussions are appropriate and encouraged at any stage of the appeal process. The parties may elect to enter into settlement discussions on their own or through mediation. If settlement is reached and endorsement of the Commission is requested, the agreement shall be put into writing and signed by all parties or representatives. The agreement shall be filed with the Commission and shall be reviewed and approved before dismissal of the appeal will be entertained. If approved, the Commission shall retain jurisdiction to enforce the terms of the agreement over which the Commission has jurisdiction and the agreement shall become part of the record.
