Frequently, employees offered Severance Agreements feel pressured by their employers to sign Severance Agreements. Do not let the company pressure you into signing it until you have discussed your options with an experienced employment lawyer.

Under New Hampshire law, an employer is not required to offer a severance package unless it is part of your employment agreement or set forth in a company policy. Before you sign a Severance Agreement, you need to understand each of the terms because the main purpose the employer is offering a Severance Agreement in exchange for some money is to obtain a waiver of your rights – especially your right to sue your employer.

Remember, a Severance Agreement is drafted by its lawyers and contains any terms the employer wants to put in there. Typically, in exchange for some continuation of salary for a certain period of time, Severance Agreements may include new obligations along with surrendering your right to sue your employer.
