Severance Is an Offer, Not a Fact

Most workers sign severance agreements within days of being laid off, without understanding what they're giving up. This session covers what severance actually is, what standard agreements typically ask you to waive, and when and how it's negotiable, including in mass layoffs.

  • Hosted by Miya Leavy
  • Sponsored by Worklution Inc.

What you'll learn

  • Identify the key legal waivers in a standard severance agreement, including ADEA and discrimination claims
