separation pay

Termination financial package

Separation pay is compensation given to an employee upon termination, layoff, or departure from a company.

It typically represents a lump sum or continued salary for a set period, often calculated based on years of service.

Unlike severance packages, which may include benefits and other considerations, separation pay usually refers specifically to the monetary component: The company offered three months' separation pay to laid-off workers.
