Why should you attend?
Employee severance arrangements, while a very effective tool for employers to manage post-termination risks, can be tricky fraught with pitfalls. For example, an improperly drafted release agreement could be invalidated and of no effect. Some severance packages are subject to ERISA. Some employers find themselves ordered by a court to provide severance pay or benefits even though they do not have a written severance agreement. This webinar examines the most up-to-date strategic, legal, and financial considerations employers need to consider when offering severance arrangements to terminated employees.
