At-Will Employment Doctrine: Michigan follows the doctrine of at-will employment, which means that employers can generally terminate employees at any time and for any reason, as long as it is not illegal.

Expiration of the terms of the contract: Contract terminates when its specified date or duration expires. Example: John's one-year lease, starting on January 1, 2024, expires on December 31, 2024. At that point, the contract terminates unless both parties agree to renew it.

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.
