Contractual Severance and Release
I have a predetermined severance clause in my offer letter that states:"In addition, in the event you are terminated for reasons other than “for cause” during the twelve-month period ending after the date a Chief Executive Officer begins employment with the Company, you shall be entitled to severance equal to three months salary." After letting me go on the basis of being "Overqualified," the company is asking me to sign a release in order to get this. I think I'm entitled to this without having to do anything else. Please advise?
