What Is a Severance Agreement?
A severance agreement outlines the obligations and rights of both employee and employer upon job termination. These agreements primarily protect employer interests and often include:
- Non-disclosure clauses restricting discussion of termination details or confidential company information.
- Non-compete clauses barring work with competitors or starting a similar business.
- Non-disparagement clauses preventing negative comments about the employer.
Crucially, severance agreements usually require employees to waive their right to sue in exchange for severance benefits. Having an experienced employment lawyer review these terms protects your rights and ensures you understand their impact on your future employment.
Essential Elements in Your Corbin City Severance Agreement
While severance agreements vary, these components are key to protecting your interests:
- Severance Pay: Employers may be obligated to pay severance under contracts, laws, or policies. Sometimes pay is offered in exchange for waiving legal claims. An attorney will ensure you receive all owed compensation—including accrued PTO, bonuses, and benefits—and that waivers do not violate your rights.
- Medical Benefits: Federal law allows continuation of health insurance coverage for up to 18 months post-termination, though premiums usually apply. Skilled negotiation can secure employer payment of premiums or lump-sum settlements.
- References: Employers typically confirm only employment dates and status to potential employers to limit liability.
- Dispute Resolution: Arbitration clauses commonly require disputes to be settled outside court. Our attorneys handle arbitration skillfully and are prepared for litigation if necessary.
- Confidentiality: Severance terms are usually confidential except when disclosed to family, attorneys, or legal authorities.
Employers often dominate termination negotiations. Castronovo & McKinney, LLC uses strong negotiation tactics to secure fair severance packages and protect your future job opportunities.
