Severance & Employment Separation Agreement

A Severance & Employment Separation Agreement formalizes the terms of an employee‚ exit and related payments. This playbook emphasizes release language, confidentiality, and non-disparagement clauses.

Scope of Work

Why This Matters: A clear work scope limits disputes over unanticipated tasks, over- or under-performance, and potential scope creep.

Negotiation strategy

If you're the Company:

Ensure the scope of work is detailed and aligns with business objectives. Include mechanisms for handling changes or disputes to prevent scope creep.

If you're the Employee:

Negotiate for clear task descriptions and timelines. Ensure performance metrics are realistic and achievable.

Essential elements

Deliverables

List of tasks to be completed.

Action framework

ACCEPT
