On the contrary, I assert that severance pay is normal with or without the gag-clause. So the employer has put the "value" of signing agreement at zero.
- greenyoda 13y agoSeverance payments are not legally required in most U.S. states. The company might usually make a severance payment (because ex-employees usually sign whatever the company asks them to), but if you don't sign their agreement, they won't give you a severance payment. So the cost of not signing is whatever the severance was worth.
- alextingle 13y agoYou are assiduously avoiding my point. I said nothing about any legal requirement to severance pay. I asked you about what is usual. If there is no difference between the usual severance pay from gag- and no-gag-employers, then employers value the gag-clause at zero.
