SEVERANCE — IS THERE A VIRGINIA LAW ON WHETHER I AM ENTITLED TO SEVERANCE? 150 150 Lauren Ellerman

I was asked that question yesterday.

No.

There is no law.

Under Virginia common law (meaning cases) there is no guarantee or right to severance.

In fact, it is like any other contract.

You may be offered, or not.
You may want to sign, or not.

Good luck everyone.. let us know if we can help.
