Severance Agreements

An employment issue of significant importance to employees and employers is the negotiation of severance or separation agreements. If you are an employer or employee in need of an experienced attorney to draft, review, or negotiate a severance or separation agreement, contact us.

Severance Agreements for Employees

An employee who is being terminated or laid-off, should negotiate the best possible severance agreement. Not all employees are offered a severance agreement. Consulting with an experienced lawyer is a good first step to protecting your rights. Even if your employer has not offered a severance or separation agreement, an attorney may be able to convince your employer that it is in their best interest to offer you a reasonable severance package. Before you agree to anything that may waive or jeopardize your rights, contact us.

Severance Agreements for Employers

Employers may ask themselves why it is advantageous to offer an employee a severance agreement. As a general rule, employers in at-will states can terminate an employee for any reason, or no reason at all.

There are several reasons why an employer should consider giving a departing employee a severance package. Disgruntled employees pose a potential risk of a lawsuit. Litigation is expensive and potentially damaging to your corporate image. In addition, the discharge of a long time employee can damage the morale of your employees. Treating current and departing employees well has an impact on employee recruitment, retention, loyalty, and efficiency. Before you terminate an employee contact us.
