No notice of separation is required by law, by either party, upon separation of an employee for any reason. Courtesy and time to collect accrued benefits are reasons why notice is given.
The steps can vary due to your situation, but the process of gaining severance after being fired may include the following: Meet with your employer. Ask about severance. Review the severance package. Negotiate severance as needed. Sign the severance agreement. Contact a lawyer. Review the severance package.
A severance clause aims to ensure that a contract will survive the deletion of an unenforceable provision. For example, where a court later deems that a particular provision of a contract is no longer, or was never, enforceable, this deletion would not invalidate or deem unenforceable the entire contract.
In Brazil, employments are at will, meaning that any party may terminate the employment agreement without cause upon the mandatory prior notice and payment of the severance. It is not necessary to mention any reason for termination, except if it is a termination with cause.
Most termination clauses are an agreement between the employer and the employee that in the event the employer elects to dismiss the employee without cause, the employee will only receive what they are entitled to under the Employment Standards Code.
