Employee Separation Agreement

New York

Asked on Jul 18, 2023

Employee separation agreement and outplacement services?

I recently resigned from my job and my employer has presented me with an Employee Separation Agreement. I understand that I am entitled to outplacement services, but I am unclear if this is something that is included in the agreement or if I need to negotiate for it. I am concerned about my future career prospects and would like to ensure I receive the services I am entitled to.

Gregory F.

Answered Aug 1, 2023

I strongly recommend that you have an attorney experienced in severance negotiations review the agreement and advise you. I am licensed in NY and would be happy to do so. Feel free to reach out to me directly at 770-807-0083.

Employment Handbook

Washington

Asked on Aug 10, 2023

Employment handbook employee rights?

I am an employee of a company and I recently received a copy of the Employment Handbook that outlines the rights and responsibilities of the employees. After reading through the handbook, I am concerned that some of the policies may not be in compliance with the law. I want to make sure that my rights as an employee are being respected and that I am fully aware of any legal obligations that I may have.

Merry K.

Answered Aug 18, 2023

Hello - I have been an attorney for nearly 38 years and specialize in employment law. It would be helpful to know what policies concern you, but be aware that federal and state law, and usually county and city as well, override any policies that are incorrect. Meanwhile, keep in mind that if you are an "at will" employee you have few, if any rights (other than certain ones protected by law); that sometimes employers don't keep up with updating their polices; and that HR is not your friend. If you feel your rights are not being respected, you may want to book a 30 or 60 minute consultation with a WA State Employment attorney. If you feel you have been or are being discriminated against because of a protected class status, you can also file discrimination complaints with the WA State Human Rights Commission and/or the EEOC. If you are not getting the wages you should be receiving, you can file a wage complaint with the state; you will be protected from retaliation for doing so. If you feel your working conditions are unsafe, you can file a complaint with the WA State equivalent of OSHA, and/or with OSHA (federal). Best wishes, Merry

Employment Offer

Washington

Asked on Dec 5, 2023

Is confidentiality needed for an employment offer?

I recently received an employment offer from a company I am interested in working for. However, the offer did not include any kind of confidentiality agreement. I am concerned that the offer may not be legally binding, or that the company may not honor its terms. I am hoping to get guidance from a lawyer on whether or not confidentiality should be included in an employment offer.

Merry K.

Answered Dec 8, 2023

I would be happy to help review your offer, but, no, there are no legal requirements in employment or contract law that an employer or you must keep the terms of an offer confidential, or that the contract include any requirement that you keep anything at the company confidential. So, in theory at least, if I offered you a job at $100K/year, I could publish a full-page newspaper ad with all the terms of the contract I offered to you spelled out in the ad. (Now, you may be able to argue an invasion of privacy, but, as to the example I gave you, standing alone, I don't think you would win).

Employment Contract

Georgia

Asked on Apr 12, 2025

Can a company withhold a performance bonus if I leave before the payout date?

I recently resigned from my job, and in my employment contract, there was a provision for a performance bonus to be paid out at the end of the year. However, the payout date is a few months away, and I am concerned that the company may try to withhold the bonus since I am no longer employed with them. I want to know if they have the legal right to do so, or if I am still entitled to receive the bonus based on my performance during my time of employment.

Jerome L.

Answered Apr 15, 2025

This is a great—and very common—question. Whether the company can legally withhold your performance bonus after resignation depends heavily on how your employment agreement is written and how the bonus is classified. Key Factors to Consider: 1. Is the Bonus Discretionary or Earned? If your contract defines the bonus as discretionary, the employer generally has the right to decide whether to pay it and can condition it on continued employment. If the bonus is based on meeting specific performance goals or metrics, and those have been satisfied, it may be considered earned—even if the payment date is in the future. 2. Does the Contract Require You to Be Employed on the Payout Date? Many agreements include language stating the employee must be actively employed on the bonus payout date. If such a clause exists, the company may be within its rights to withhold the bonus, even if the performance was completed. 3. What Is the Bonus Period? If your bonus was based on a performance period that has already ended (such as a calendar or fiscal year), and you met your goals, you may have a stronger case for claiming the bonus as earned compensation. Georgia-Specific Note: In Georgia, employment is at-will, and courts generally uphold the terms of a written employment agreement. However, Georgia courts have also recognized that earned wages (which can include bonuses if not discretionary) must be paid. If the bonus is performance-based and the company has paid similar bonuses under the same conditions in the past, you may have grounds to assert that the payment is owed. What You Can Do: Review your employment agreement and any bonus policy documents closely. Look for phrases like “discretionary,” “earned,” and “must be employed on the payout date.” If the language is unclear, you may want to consult an attorney to evaluate whether the company is legally permitted to withhold the bonus—or if you may have a claim based on how the bonus was structured and earned. If you would like help reviewing your agreement, I’d be happy to assist.

Severance Agreement

North Carolina

Asked on Jun 2, 2023

What is a severance agreement?

I recently accepted a job offer from a new company, but before I start my new position the company has asked me to sign a severance agreement. I'm not familiar with this type of document and am unsure of what it entails. I'm looking to learn more about severance agreements so that I can make an informed decision.

N'kia N.

Answered Jun 6, 2023

There are two main types of Severance Agreements. One is signed at the beginning of an employment relationship and the other is signed at the end. When a Severance Agreement is signed at the beginning of an employment relationship, "severance" is what the employer promises to pay (above and beyond the employee's regular wages) when employment terminates i.e. when the parties "sever" ties. The sum of severance pay is typically calculated by how long the employee had been employed by the company at the time of separation. Before signing this type of Severance Agreement, a prospective employee should be sure that it clearly defines all the important terms and conditions. For example, the Severance Agreement may address how long the employee must be employed to become eligible for severance pay, how long after termination the severance pay will be paid, whether severance pay will be paid in a lump sum, and what could cause the employee to forfeit severance pay.
