Severance agreements specify the amount of monetary compensation and other benefits that an employee will receive upon separation from an employer. These agreements may also include any continuing obligations that an employee has to the [former] employer. Usually, in accepting a severance agreement, an employee gives up any right to make legal claims against an employer for any discrimination or other unlawful activity that occurred during the employee’s tenure with the employer.
