SEVERANCE AGREEMENTS: WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW
SEVERANCE AGREEMENTS: WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW
Have you been terminated and asked to sign a Severance Agreement?
Protect your rights! Severance Agreements almost always contain a “Release of All Claims,” where the employer agrees to pay a sum of money in exchange for you releasing any lawsuit you may have against the company. Often, these claims are far more valuable than the severance payment offered by the employer. Our attorneys specialize in employment claims, and we can help you identify and value your potential claims against the value of the proposed severance payment.
Employers often present severance agreements as a benefit, but they often work against terminated employees, binding them for years and making it harder to find another job. If you’ve been offered a Severance Agreement, it may have language related to the following:
Non-Compete
Non-Solicitation
Non-Disclosure
Confidentiality
It is important to have an attorney review and negotiate Severance Agreement terms.
