Attorney Handling Severance Agreements
When an employee is being let go from a job, a company may offer a severance agreement. This agreement may include monetary compensation, health care coverage, stocks, 401k, pension plans or other benefits. Unbeknownst to many people, providing benefits to a laid-off employee is not the real reason that a company offers a severance agreement. A severance agreement generally includes a release of liability that prevents the employee from suing on most grounds.
If you have been presented with a severance agreement and are unsure how to proceed, turn to our legal team at Hollifield Legal Centre for Women. We have the knowledge and experience necessary to help clients understand their rights in a severance agreement and negotiation. Primary attorney Travis R. Hollifield, along with our staff, takes the time to assess each client's situation on an individual basis to determine the best way to proceed with a case.
You do not have to blindly accept a severance agreement as it is presented to you. Hollifield Legal Centre for Women can review the agreement and handle any negotiation to see that your rights are protected.
In Florida, let-go employees have no legal right to a severance package. It is up to the discretion of the employer whether or not they want to offer a severance package. It is important that you speak with an attorney if a severance package is being offered. A trained lawyer can review the documents to determine the real reason behind offering the severance.
It is possible that you may have a claim that is more valuable than what the company is offering in the severance agreement. This is why you should enlist the assistance of the Centre. We have years of experience handling severance agreements and pride ourselves on knowing what to look for in these documents to ensure that you are protected and fully compensated.
