Description

The Standard Severance Policy outlines the types of employee separations from a company and their effects on benefits and service continuity. It applies primarily to full-time permanent employees, with parts relevant to part-time temporary employees. The policy differentiates between voluntary and involuntary terminations and specifies situations such as layoffs, releases without fault, and discharges. Severance pay is explained, detailing eligibility requirements and payment schedules based on years of continuous service for full-time employees, while part-time and temporary workers are excluded from severance benefits. Additionally, it covers accrued vacation pay and provides essential information regarding the cancellation of group insurance benefits following termination. For attorneys, partners, and other legal professionals, this policy serves as a crucial reference when advising clients about employee rights and company obligations during separations. Paralegals and legal assistants can utilize this policy to assist in drafting and revising company termination documents and ensure compliance with relevant laws.
