Employment Severance Agreement

I need advice on a severance package
I believe I was discriminated against due to disabilities. Reasonable accommodations were submitted on two separate occasions. My supervisor and HR rep mishandled the situation and I was eventually terminated. I was offered a severance in exchange for me not during them. I have documentation, communication, and recorded conversations and I'm finishing up writing out a timeline. I was offered a years salary and would like to negotiate more.

Hi, it sounds like your employer may have real concerns if they've offered one year of severance. That's higher than the offers I usually see. There is always potential to negotiate something higher, but I would not be able to counsel on specifics without fully reviewing all the facts of your situation. Please feel free to contact me through the ContractsCounsel site if you would like to discuss further.
