Complex Severance Agreement? How To Maximize Compensation…

When an employee separates from the business of the employer the terms and benefits the employee will receive is determined in a severance agreement. Depending on the employee’s position and the type of industry the business is in, the severance agreement could be very complex.

In order to maximize your severance agreement it’s important to hire an employment law attorney to review or draft the contract.

An experienced employment attorney can make sure you receive the money you are owed. If you have unused vacation time or miscellaneous expenses, an attorney can create an agreement that outlines how you’ll receive the money you’ve earned.

Have you checked what benefits you’ll receive under the severance agreement? An employment lawyer can negotiate favorable terms for you.

These agreements typically state what severance pay you’ll receive upon leaving the company. The severance pay that your employer is willing to pay you may be what you’re entitled to, but an employment attorney can fight for more pay on your behalf. Don’t settle and blindly sign, have an employment attorney in your corner.

Severance agreements, like any contract, can contain legal phrases and clauses you may not be familiar with. Have an attorney explain the agreement to you before you commit to it.
