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.
Employers are generally required to provide an employee time to consider the Severance Agreement before signing. An employee usually has a 21-day consideration period to accept and at least a 7-day revocation period to revoke an employer's Severance Agreement if the employee is over 40 years of age.
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.
Some factors that are often considered include length of employment at the company, your position or rank within the organization, salary, and individual circumstances relating to termination. Some employers adhere to a written contract or employment agreement or policy that was outlined previously.
