Unless you have a contract with your employer for a specified length of service, either you or your employer may terminate the employment relationship at any time, with or without cause, for any reason or no reason at all, with the exception of illegal discrimination. This is frequently called "Employment-at-Will."
In Georgia, employees are presumed to be "at-will," and their employment may be terminated for any reason, at any time, with or without cause, as long as the reason is not specifically prohibited by law. This presumption is codified at O.C.G.A.
In ance with the Employment Security Law, OCGA Section 34-8-190(c) and Rules pursuant thereto, a Separation Notice must be completed for each worker who leaves your employment, regardless of the reason for the separation.
Neither the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) nor Georgia law require breaks or meal periods be given to workers. However, many employers do provide breaks and meal periods. Breaks of short duration (from 5 to 20 minutes) are common.
Rule 300-2-7-. 06 Notices Required From Employers Furnishing Separation Information.

You and your employer must follow certain legal formalities for a severance agreement to be enforceable. You must ensure that the agreement is in writing and that your employer has signed it. Sometimes, you might also need a witness or have it notarized.
First you can simply ask. The offer of severance is not a legal obligation. It is an attempt by the employer to assure that you will never make any claims against it. Some times simply asking for more can trigger a discussion, but do not count on it. Especially in a RIF where many people are involved.
