Newark-Area Severance Package Attorneys
It is increasingly common for employers to offer severance packages to employees prior to terminating their employment. Severance packages can include a number of benefits, including severance pay, health insurance and other compensation. In exchange for this compensation, employees waive certain rights to make legal claims against their employer.
The terms of your severance agreement can have a great impact on your life. A lawyer can help you understand your rights and help you make certain that you are entering into an equitable agreement with your employer. The Law Offices of Emanuel S. Fish in Maplewood, New Jersey, negotiates severance agreements for employees throughout Northern and Central New Jersey.
In a severance agreement, the company may request that the employee releases the employer for any possible claims under Title VII and applicable state and federal laws. The lawyers at our law firm will closely review the terms of the proposed severance agreement and determine if entering into the agreement meets your best interests. Our attorneys may be able to negotiate a better settlement for an employee if there is a basis for doing so. Important assets such as stock options and retirement benefits can be at stake in these negotiations. We may also be able to modify or eliminate provisions that will negatively impact your situation.
