Often, an employer will provide an employee with a “Severance Agreement” or “Separation Agreement” when an employee is:
- Discharged,
- Laid-off, or
- The job position is eliminated.
These agreements generally provide the employee with:
- Monetary compensation, which can vary, and/or
- Benefits.
In exchange, the employee signs a general release, discharging the employer from any and all legal obligations.
