Post-dating termination
Dear Dana:
There are some important facts missing from your question. An employer must pay you for any days you worked. If you have been off work since 6/2, there are circumstances under which the employer could decide to make your termination as of that date.
Next, you don't indicate how or why you are leaving the job. If the circumstances are suspicious, you should speak in more depth with an attorney to see if you may have legal rights to sue the employer.
Finally, the employer and the employee can agree to most anything in a severance package as long as it is voluntary and does not violate state or federal law.
I urge you to contact an attorney before you sign anything.
