This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. This essay sheds light on what is a severance package, demystifies the different types of severance packages that companies can offer to their former employees, and reveals the benefits of companies offering severance packages to their former employees. Succinctly stated, a severance package is a package that is furnished to the former employees of a company. Companies are able to dole out severance packages to their former employees if they choose to do so. When companies opt to dole out severance packages in the form of salary continuation to their former employees, then it is often perceived as “gestures of goodwill”. The components of a severance package can vary from severance package to severance package. Some of the components of a severance package can encompass fiat currency, the continuation of health insurance “for a specified period of time”, the continuation of dental insurance “for a specified period of time”, the continuation of vision insurance “for a specified period of time”, and access to outplacement services “for a specified period of time”. The components of a severance package are not limited to the aforementioned components. Some of the additional components of a severance package can encompass an extension of a gym membership “for a specified period of time” and access to “a post-termination exercise period” in which a former employee has the option to exercise “vested stock options” in his former employer’s company if he chooses to do so. In contexts in which an employer’s company opts to offer severance packages to its former employees, then the real private sector employer will often require the former employees to sign a separation contract prior to the advent of them receiving severance packages from the employer’s company. A separation contract not only “outlines the financial terms on which the employee will leave the employer’s company”, but can also include other components, such as a non-disparagement clause.
