Protect your company with an effective separation agreement.
Separation agreements are an extremely valuable tool available to employers to eliminate the potential for post-termination lawsuits from disgruntled ex-employees who are unhappy that their employment was terminated. However, in order to gain the many benefits of such agreements, it is imperative that employers do them correctly and meet all necessary legal requirements that apply to gain actual enforcement of such agreements. Learn how to effectively craft separation agreements and learn about the important legal requirements that must be followed to make such agreements enforceable. Furthermore, you will gain valuable insights into best practices and strategies for appropriate enforcement and effective negotiation of separation agreements.
