Severance Agreements
At the time of termination, some employees receive a severance agreement from their employer, which typically includes a sum of money paid in exchange for the employee’s release of all claims he or she could bring against their employer. It is important to have your severance agreement reviewed by an experienced attorney before you sign it. Often, severance agreements contain provisions which restrict future employment and the ability to speak about your workplace experiences. Also, if you are over the age of forty and are laid off as part of a group layoff, it is important to make sure your employer has included in the severance agreement all the components necessary under the law.
