Common questions

Should I sign a severance agreement on the spot?

Most offers can wait a few days, and some releases have a legally required time to consider. Read the deadline on the paper and ask a lawyer before you sign if the terms are unclear.

Is every firing illegal?

No. New York jobs are often at will. A firing can still be illegal if it breaks a statute, a contract, or a rule against retaliation.
