SEVERANCE AND SEPARATION AGREEMENTS

McKinley Onua attorneys review exit packages and advise clients on the impact of accepting the agreements. We negotiate higher severance payouts, continued health insurance coverage, outplacement services, extra pension credits, positive or neutral employee references, extra pension credits and other inducements to the agreements. We ensure that our clients are getting the best options available to them.

We also assess whether the separation was motivated by legitimate business reasons or potentially discriminatory or violative causes. If an employer is noncompliant with the law, our firm has employment law practitioners with experience in numerous federal and state laws addressing issues related to employment, including Title VII, the ADEA, the ADA, the FMLA, the FLSA, the WARN Act, the NLRA, the RLA and ERISA, as well as the state law analogues of these federal statutes. We will demand enforcement of the laws or litigate to recover damages.
