When an employee has been laid off or terminated, the employer usually provides a severance agreement package. While employers are not legally required to offer one, it is important to make sure the offer is a fair and appropriate one. Having an experienced Long Beach severance agreement lawyer review your offer and negotiate on your behalf can ensure the best possible outcome in a difficult situation. You want to be sure you understand what you are receiving and how an agreement could potentially affect you in the future. Some severance agreements have non-compete clauses, which can dictate certain details of your next employment position.

Your Rights Under the WARN Act
The WARN Act (Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act) is a federal law that protects the rights of workers in massive layoffs or relocations. The California WARN Act was enacted in 2003. Both the federal and state WARN Acts provide that an employer laying off more than 50 employees in a 30-day time period must give a 60-day notice. If you believe your rights have been violated under the WARN Act, we can discuss your case with you and take any necessary legal action.
