Negotiating a Severance Package
Unless there is an explicit provision for a severance package in an employment contract or agreement, the offering of a severance package is at the discretion of the employer. However, even if no employment contract exists though, it may be possible to negotiate a severance agreement that provides the employee with certain advantages and still satisfies the employer.
If you are an executive, professional, or technical employee facing possible termination, you should speak with Kathryn Fox at Perlman Fox, as soon as possible.
We may be able to negotiate a severance package that provides you with certain advantages or benefits. For example, it may benefit you to accept a lesser dollar amount in exchange for a positive employment recommendation. Employers are often receptive to these and other types of severance agreements.
Let our experience work for you. We will work to negotiate a severance package that is fair, acceptable to both parties, and that enables you to move forward in a positive manner.
On the other hand, it may be harmful for you to agree to a severance package that waives your rights under Title 7 (covering employment discrimination). We can advise you as to your best course of action.
Non-Compete Agreements
Kathryn Fox and the attorneys at Perlman Fox advise employers, potential employees and former employees in non-compete agreement matters.
Such agreements are often weaker than they might appear at first glance. We can advise you and if necessary, pursue or defend non-compete agreement litigation on your behalf.
Representing Employees and Employers
Perlman Fox represents both employees and employers in severance package and non-compete agreement matters.
