severance agreements
Departure compensation deals
Severance agreements are contracts between employers and departing employees that specify compensation and benefits provided upon termination.
The employee typically receives a payout—often based on years of service—in exchange for waiving claims against the company: She negotiated a better severance agreement before signing.
These agreements commonly include confidentiality clauses and non-compete provisions.
