FAQ
Do You Get Severance If You Get Fired? There are no legal requirements or federal law for employers to offer a dismissal or redundancy package at the time of termination of employment. The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) does not have any such provisions either.
In Utah, there are no state laws that mandate employers to provide meal or rest breaks to their employees. However, employers have the discretion to include breaks in their employee benefits package and company policy. If an employer does provide break laws, they must establish clear guidelines for employees to follow.
Severance is never a requirement of any employer unless you have a signed employment agreement stating otherwise, or, it is a written policy of the company.
Utah operates under the “at-will” employment doctrine, similar to many other states in the US. This means employers in Utah can terminate an employee at any time for any reason, except for illegal reasons such as discrimination, retaliation, or breach of contract.
