Pay or benefits offered when you leave, in exchange for rights.
A severance agreement gives you money or benefits on departure in exchange for giving up rights — almost always the right to sue the employer. The payout amount, benefits continuation, references, and any non-compete are often negotiable. You frequently have time to review and, for older workers, to revoke.
Workers over 40 typically get 21 days to consider an age-claim waiver and 7 days to revoke after signing.
