Skilled and Experienced Severance Agreement Attorney
An illegitimate reason for termination can be based on factors such as age, race, national origin, or religion, and other characteristics. California’s Civil Rights Department (CRD) and the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) are agencies that strive to enforce, respectively, California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), the federal Title VII of the Civil Rights Act (Title VII), and other state and federal anti-discrimination laws. These laws are designed to protect workers from discrimination on the basis of protected characteristics (such as race, age, sexual orientation, gender, race, religion, disability and other protected classes).
What is a Severance Package?
The specific money amount you’ll receive as part of your severance package depends on many factors, some of which include:
- Circumstances involving your termination such as a layoff or firing
- The amount of time needed to find new employment without suffering economic hardship
- The job position or title in the company
- The financial capability of the company to compensate you

The Type of Compensation Awarded in a Severance Package
Your employer's initial severance offer may be low. Many employers may undercut their first severance pay offer in hopes that the employee will accept, without question. However, you may be able to negotiate a larger severance package. Further, various potential unlawful practices by the employer during employment, such as retaliation, workplace discrimination, or a hostile work environment, may entitle you to more money than your company initially offers.
Common types of additional compensation in a severance package that may stem from unlawful employer practices during employment (such as wrongful termination or discrimination, for example) can include:
- Back Pay: This is all the money you would have earned if you weren’t unjustly fired. This can includes unpaid wages, vacation time, sick leave, health insurance, and pension benefits.
- Attorney Fees: You can request that your employer pay your attorney’s fees.
- Non-economic Damages: Payment to compensate for humiliation, pain and suffering, emotional distress and loss of reputation.
