"text": "No, by law, employers do not have to provide employees with severance. However, if an employer has a policy for severance, they must pay employees meeting the eligibility requirements. Usually, eligibility requirements can include an amount of time working for the company, staying with the company through transition periods, or losing their job for reasons out of the employers control.",

For example, an employer may offer two weeks&#8217; worth of salary for every year the employee worked for the company.",

"text": "You may have the opportunity to negotiate your severance package, depending on your situation. When an employment lawyer reviews your agreement, they can determine whether it works in your favor based on your circumstances. If something is amiss, your attorney can negotiate with your employer on your behalf. Negotiations for a severance agreement may be easier if the agreement is part of an employment contract. If you’re reviewing your agreement at the outset of your employment, you may have a good chance of convincing your employer to edit some of the terms. Your employer may make negotiations more challenging if the agreement is part of a severance package you’ve received after already losing your job. In situations like this, having an employment lawyer is particularly beneficial, as they can more aggressively negotiate for a better agreement.",

"text": "Under the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act (OWBPA), employees over 40 years of age are given 21 days to review their severance packages. The acts purpose is to allow older employees to thoroughly review their agreements or hire an attorney to do so. This helps prevent employers from bullying older terminated employees into signing away their rights after losing their jobs. The law also gives older employees seven days to revoke their acceptance, freeing them from its terms.",

However, this is not the case if you have a contractual agreement with your employer. Should you have an existing contract regarding severance, or you’ve already signed the agreement in your severance package, your employer is not allowed to change terms or fail to follow through with the agreement. If they do, you may have a valid claim for breach of contract against your employer.",
