EMPLOYMENT LAW:
Severance Agreements / Employment Contracts
A severance agreement is a common document utilized by employers at the end
of an employment relationship. Great care must be taken in drafting the document
to ensure that required federal language is included. Reductions if force often
results in the creation of severance agreements and additional statutory
requirements must be followed. Employers also utilize severance agreements
in individual terminations to prevent the filing of wrongful discharge lawsuits
that can be very costly and expend considerable time for the employer
and the employees.
Employment contracts may alter the employment at will relationship.
In such cases it is essential to properly define just cause for terminating
the contract, and the applicability of severance payments at the time of
termination. Employment contracts often provide for alternative dispute
resolutions techniques such as meditation and/or arbitration and choice
of forum clauses.
