What Provisions are Typical in a Separation Agreement?
Daniel Schwartz, writing for Shipman & Goodwin’s employment law blog, provides a handy list of typical provisions in a separation agreement between an employer and an employee.
He prefaces the list with a caveat: His description of a “typical” agreement does not mean that these provisions are in every agreement or even that these provisions ought to be in some agreements. Each separation or settlement has differing facts that may make certain provisions more important than others.
Some of provisions on the list include nondisparagement of one or more of the parties, return of property, and benefits upon separation of employment.
