Severance Agreement Obligations

Under New Hampshire law, an employer is not required to offer a severance package unless it is part of your employment agreement or set forth in a company policy. Before you sign a severance agreement, you need to understand each of the terms, because the main purpose the employer is offering a severance agreement in exchange a severance payment or for some money is to obtain a waiver of your rights—mainly, your right to sue your employer.

A severance agreement is drafted by the employer’s lawyers and contains any terms the employer wants to put in.

Typically, in exchange for some continuation of salary for a certain period of time, severance agreements may include new obligations along with surrendering your right to sue your employer, including:

  • Releasing all claims against the employer
  • Non-disparagement by employee
  • Confidential information
  • Non-competition and non-solicit provisions
  • Cooperation provisions
