Employers frequently ask executives and upper management employees to sign severance agreements in the event of a lay off or termination of employment. These agreements often provide a certain amount of compensation to the employee in return for a release of any claims that the employee may have against the employer. Oftentimes, the employee is only given a small window of time to consider whether or not to accept the terms of the severance agreement. The employment rights attorneys at Kunkel & Fink, LLP have a significant amount of experience reviewing and negotiating severance agreements as well as executive compensation and employment agreements.
