What is an Amendment To Severance Agreement?

An amendment to severance agreement is a document intended to modify the terms of the original severance agreement by requiring a signature to affirm changes. The purpose of the document is to make it easy for employers and employees to come to an amicable agreement regarding the latter's separation from the company. It can be used to modify terms, such as what is included in the severance package. It is also often used to give former employees guidance on how long their severance pay will last and for how long they must refrain from competing with their former employer for.
