When employment relationships end, employees are often presented with a Separation Agreement which needs to be signed before any remuneration package is released. However, there are times wherein employers coerce their employees into signing this agreement. Employees should note that they are not required by law to instantly sign any document in the presence of his or her employer. It is best that any legal document presented to you by an employer be thoroughly reviewed by legal counsel who is knowledgeable in this field. Otherwise you may soon end up facing several legal liabilities in the future.
The Victoria Law Group can accurately review separation agreements provided to you by your employers and see to it that you will receive the benefits and severance pay due to you by law. Avoid being tricked or bullied by your employer into signing a separation agreement that is replete with pitfalls. The appropriate calculation of your severance pay and additional compensation you are entitled to receive is worth the trouble of having it reviewed before signing. Avoid signing restrictive covenant agreements embedded in a separation agreement and enjoy better opportunities in the future.
