Employment Law

Severance Package

EMPLOYMENT LAW

According to the Holmes-Rahe Life Stress Inventory, losing a job ranks number eight on the list of the top ten stressful life events for adults. The loss of a job not only threatens the livelihood of you and your family; it plays havoc with your sense of self, your mental and emotional well-being, and your physical health. Changes in job responsibilities or in the work environment can also be very challenging. The impact is magnified when the job loss or the change is the result of discriminatory or other legally impermissible reasons.

Your employment issues can take many different forms –

• You may have been terminated from your employment and offered a severance package;
• You may have been notified about a pending adverse employment action against you;
• You may be concerned that there may be an adverse employment action against you in the future;
• You may believe that your employer is trying to force you to quit your job;
• You may believe that your employer is engaging in unlawful activity and is trying to make you party to the unlawful activity; or
• You may be being harassed by your employer or your coworkers.
