An Arizona severance agreement is a contract between an employer and an employee outlining the terms and conditions of separation, including any severance pay, benefits continuation, and confidentiality clauses. It provides clarity and security for both parties and helps avoid future disputes. Arizona law requires specific provisions in severance agreements to ensure compliance with employment laws and worker rights. At Counxel, we specialize in drafting customized severance agreements that meet your business needs while ensuring compliance with Arizona’s legal requirements, protecting both your company and your departing employees.
What is an Arizona Severance Agreement?
An Arizona severance agreement is a legal document used when an employee is leaving a company, typically due to layoffs, restructuring, or mutual separation. The agreement specifies the terms of the separation, including severance pay, continued benefits, non-compete clauses, and waivers of rights or claims. Arizona’s laws, including those governing employment and wage laws, require that these agreements are clear and fair to both parties. A well-drafted severance agreement helps prevent legal challenges and ensures that both the employer and employee understand their obligations and rights. Counxel helps you create agreements tailored to your needs while complying with Arizona law.
