What is Severance Pay?

Reports of inappropriate actions in the workplace should be made to the applicable agency, such as the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, or EEOC. Once the report has been filed, steps will be taken to investigate the circumstances of the claim. If there is legitimate reason for a complaint, the EEOC or other such agency may decide to award the victim severance pay. This allows an individual to find new work without worrying about a source of income.

If you are facing improper workplace treatment and wish for severance pay to leave your position, we can help you defend your rights during this potentially stressful time. Contact the federal employment attorneys of the Vaughn Law Firm today by calling 877-615-9495 to discuss your case.

Receiving Severance Pay

Once you file a claim regarding a prohibited personnel practice, negotiations can begin between you and your employer. These negotiations are designed to help determine a fair settlement. A settlement may include anything from a lump sum to a promotion. In some cases, a person may choose to leave the job and receive severance pay.

In some cases, if a person believes they were wrongfully fired, negotiations may lead to a settlement that awards an individual severance pay as opposed to being rehired. Also, another situation where severance pay is often preferred is with workplace sexual harassment because the victim may want to escape the person or people who participated in the improper workplace behavior.
