Severance Packages in Massachusetts

Learning that you’ve been terminated is an awful feeling. When your employer presents you with a severance agreement, it can be intimidating, and they might pressure you to sign it right away. It’s important that you ask for time to review the document before you agree to anything.

While understanding the full agreement is at times confusing, having a lawyer experienced in Massachusetts severance agreements and labor laws can help clarify what, exactly, your agreement might entail.

Employers typically offer severance packages to protect themselves from future legal action. In these agreements, it is common for employers to ask you to give up your right to sue or to work for a competitor in exchange for severance pay and other benefits. These obligations and restrictions may not be in your best interest. Working with a lawyer who is knowledgeable about severance procedures can help you avoid a detrimental agreement.

Your Rights in Massachusetts

While not all companies offer severance agreements upon the termination of an employee, you are entitled to legal representation to help you review and negotiate any severance agreement you are offered in Massachusetts. Not only are you able to hire a lawyer to review your severance agreement, you can also work with one of our attorneys to represent and advocate for the best outcome during negotiations.

You can potentially negotiate payment sums, how they are paid, the release of your ability to claim discrimination, and health insurance coverage for you and your family. Remember, there is no such thing as a “standard” severance agreement in Massachusetts. Even if other employees have accepted a similar agreement, you don’t have to. Employers will protect themselves with their own attorneys, but our labor lawyers in Massachusetts can help you do the same. Call us to ensure that you receive the full host of benefits you’re entitled to.
