Before signing a severance agreement, take a few minutes to review what may be at stake. A severance agreement is more than a final paycheck. It is a legally binding contract that can affect compensation, benefits, and certain future employment rights.

To help employees better understand the basics, we created a free Severance Negotiation Checklist that highlights key issues to review before signing.

The checklist includes:

✅ The Financial Offer: A punch list to verify you aren't forfeiting earned bonuses, commissions, or accrued time off.

✅ Health & Benefits: Critical checks regarding COBRA premiums and potential reimbursement for such premiums and unemployment eligibility.

✅ Restrictive Covenants: Reminders to look for Non-Compete and Non-Solicitation clauses that could restrict your future job search.

✅ The Release: A final check to ensure you aren’t waiving vested rights like your 401(k), a clause that would violate ERISA.

Taking time to review the details now may help you make a more informed decision later.
