Severance pay is often granted to employees upon termination of
employment. It is usually based on length of employment for which an employee
is eligible upon termination. There is no requirement in the
Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) for
severance pay. Severance pay is a matter of agreement between an employer and
an employee (or the employee's representative). The Employee
Benefits Security Administration (EBSA) may be able to assist an employee
who did not receive severance benefits under their employer-sponsored plan.
Please contact EBSA if you have any
questions.
