Add Comment Question: I am 38 and I have been working at a financial institution company for 17 years. My employer is offering me severance with a lump sum reduced to 75% or salary continuance. I am also trying to negotiate a higher severance amount as they are only offering 2 weeks per year of severance. They pulled out an employee agreement that stipulates the amount of severance in the agreement and limits it to 2 weeks per year of service. However, this agreement was signed over a year after i started my career with the company it was signed when i internally transferred to a new role. Do i still have room to negotiate my severance pay? Answer: The termination clause in your contract may not be enforceable, in which case you can negotiate your severance.
