Severance Package FAQ
What is a severance package?
A severance package is an agreement between you and your employer that provides pay, benefits, or other compensation when your employment ends. It often includes waivers of legal claims in exchange for these benefits.
How do I know if my severance offer is fair?
Fairness depends on factors like your tenure, salary, potential wrongful termination claims, and industry norms. We benchmark your offer against these elements to ensure adequate compensation.
What legal issues should I watch for?
- Non-compete and non-disclosure clauses
- Classification as “resignation” vs. “termination”
- Unemployment benefit eligibility language
- Waivers of rights to sue for discrimination or wrongful termination
Can I negotiate my severance terms?
Yes. Employers expect negotiation. We leverage potential claims and package benchmarks to negotiate higher pay, extended benefits, or more favorable terms.
What happens when I sign the waiver?
Signing usually bars you from pursuing legal claims covered by the agreement. It’s crucial to review all waivers—small drafting differences can significantly limit your rights.
