Severance Agreements and Employment Releases: What NJ Employers Need to Know

Separation agreements are only as good as the language in them. A poorly drafted release can void an otherwise valid waiver, expose your organization to claims you thought were settled, or run afoul of recent NJ legal changes. Join employment attorneys Brian Chabarek, Esq. and Elizabeth Trottier, Esq. of Davison Eastman Munoz Paone, PA for a practical, one-hour session on drafting enforceable releases and navigating the compliance requirements that surround them.

Topics include:

• What claims can and cannot be released under NJ and federal law
• OWBPA requirements for age-related waivers: consideration, timing, and the 7-day revocation period
• What constitutes valid consideration
• NJ-specific restrictions: non-disclosure provisions and no-rehire clauses
• NJ WARN Act obligations and how they intersect with severance
• DOL separation reporting requirements
