Description

The Example Severance Policy outlines the procedures and guidelines regarding different types of employment separations at a company, specifically focusing on benefits related to severance pay. This policy applies primarily to full-time permanent employees, while part-time temporary employees are also included except for severance pay matters. It details the distinctions between voluntary and involuntary terminations, including various circumstances under which employees may leave, such as layoffs or discharge due to conduct. The policy specifies the severance pay structured on the employee's length of service, noting that no severance is granted for voluntary terminations or discharges for cause. Additionally, it highlights the provisions for accrued vacation pay and the cancellation of group insurance benefits effective on the last day worked. Restoration of length of service is also addressed for laid-off or involuntarily terminated employees upon rehire. This policy serves a critical function by offering clarity and procedural norms that protect both the employer and employee during separation processes. For attorneys, partners, and legal assistants, this document is essential in drafting employment agreements and advising clients on termination matters, while paralegals and associates benefit from its structured guidance in managing employee separations.
