FAQ
Neither the California Labor Code nor the federal Fair Labor Standards Act require employers to offer severance agreements to departing employees. Instead, severance agreements are provided by employers to accomplish a specific goal.
Severance packages are typically offered to executives and employees who are laid off due to downsizing or restructuring. They are not usually offered to people who resign or who are fired for poor performance or other causes. Our California employment attorneys offer a Severance Package Review & Consultation.
You do not get severance if you quit. Nobody is automatically entitled to any severance legally, ever, unless you were hired under a contract such as a 1099 employee and you have severance written into your agreement. Standard W-2 employees usually do not get severance.
Keep It Professional: Maintain a respectful and professional tone throughout the letter, avoiding emotional language. Be Concise and Clear: Clearly articulate your severance request and the rationale behind it, avoiding unnecessary details.
