SEVERANCE AGREEMENTS
A severance agreement is a contract between the employer and employee that details the employee's termination. Some severance agreements may include a severance package. A severance package will offer certain benefits as an incentive to the employee. These may include cash payments, extension of benefits and letters of recommendation.
​
If you have been asked to sign a severance agreement, you may be signing away critical rights. It is important to review the agreement with an experienced RMN attorney before signing.
