The following are guidelines to consider when preparing a severance/separation agreement with your employment attorney. Each agreement should be tailored to reflect the individual circumstances of the employment separation. Relying on "form" agreements increases the likelihood of an agreement being unenforceable if challenged in court. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that all severance/separation agreements be drafted by or with your employment attorney.
