FAQ
Maryland does not require that an employer give notice prior to terminating an employee unless they lay off 25 or more employees for more than seven days. However, it is customary to give two weeks' notice, which can be outlined in an employment agreement (Md. Code, Labor and Employment § 3-501).
The only break regulations Maryland requires are for the retail industry. The Healthy Retail Employee Act requires retail establishments with 50 or more retail employees to provide the following breaks: 15-minute breaks for 4-6 consecutive hours of work. 30-minute breaks for 6-8 consecutive hours of work.
Severance payments are deductible from UI benefits (based on the number of weeks of your regular wage the payments cover). Once your severance payments are exhausted, you may receive UI benefits, if you are eligible.
All you can do is ask. They'll probably say no but you're bound by the companies severance policy/program but legally it's not a required benefit. BUT keep in mind the company wants you to sign that agreement at the end of the day so you could get more. You could try and use trigger words during your conversation.
