When an employee leaves a company, voluntarily or involuntarily, employers often fear the worst.

• Departing employees may have had access to very important and confidential information of the employer – client/customer lists, vendor information, pricing information. How can it protected?
• Employees may allege they are due additional salary, bonuses or commissions. Might they sue?
• There may have been issues involving suspected or alleged harassment or discrimination. What's the risk of liability?
• Employees might be disgruntled. Can anything be done to prevent disparagement of the company?

Drafting separation agreements are complex and as important as employment agreements.

This program provides a practical guide to drafting employee separation agreements.

• Salary and benefit issues, severance payments, and payments tied to future performance
• Identifying points of potential liability in both voluntary and involuntary separations
• Drafting enforceable waivers of liability – scope, length and payment issues
• Post-separation commission issues for sales employees
• Preserving the confidentiality of important business information post-separation
• Non-disparagement, non-competition and non-solicitation provisions
• Mediation and other dispute resolution provisions
