Common Questions About Severance Negotiations
General information only — not legal advice.
Should I sign a severance agreement without a lawyer?
It's generally not advisable. Severance agreements almost always include a release of legal claims — you may be giving up valuable rights without realizing it. An attorney can evaluate whether the offer is fair relative to your potential claims and negotiate better terms.
What can be negotiated in severance?
Beyond the payout amount: extended health insurance (COBRA subsidy), equity vesting acceleration, non-compete modifications or removal, reference letter terms, outplacement services, confidentiality scope, non-disparagement terms, and the scope of the claims release.
How long do I have to sign?
For employees 40+, the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act requires at least 21 days to consider (45 days in group layoffs) and 7 days to revoke after signing. Younger employees may have shorter deadlines, but you can usually negotiate more time.
