Some terminations will be forced by an employer, including getting fired, laid off, or furloughed. Other separations, like retirement or resignation, will be voluntary. Knowing which type of separation from employment you've experienced is important.
A severance package refers to an employer's offer of added money and/or benefits to a terminated employee. A severance (or separation) agreement refers to a written agreement in which the departing employee agrees to certain promises made to the employer.
When a company ends an employee's job, they typically provide a termination letter, also called a letter of separation, stating the reason for termination and next steps. A termination letter is an official and professional way to document and describe the separation between the employee and employer.
A separation agreement is the entire contract that details an employee's termination including terms about items like continued pay, benefits and potential legal actions against the employer.
Severance packages typically include: A lump sum payment or a set number of full or partial paychecks. Compensation for any unused vacation, personal, or sick time. A set duration of continued health insurance coverage, or coverage until the employee gets a new job.
