How Much Should an Employment Severance Package Be?
2008-04-16 16:00:00 For all we know, severance packages are something like an incentive given by employers to their dismissed workers or employees. It is like a token or a send-off gift for a worker so that he can start anew. But in all aspects, the awarding of an employment severance package is more a prerogative of an employer than it is a worker?s legal right.

Severance Pay
2007-12-08 18:34:00 Someone asked me the other day what obligations friends have to each other. I can’t speak to the issue in the “sisterhood.” I think those obligations have something to do with tags and lines that show. And I have written of the obligation man has to a Deity and his responsibilities to his fellow members of humanity. I’m unaware of a litany of obligations that are exclusive to friendship. Yet I know of one obligation that is an intrinsic element in the fraternity of mankind. When a buddy is suffering through a break up, his friend is required to oversee his activities on the day of the break up.He must:1. Sit beside his buddy at a bar and say: “No man. It’s a good thing. She wasn’t right for you,” through the first two beers. The next two beers should be echoed with: “Yeah, she was a bitch. Fuck her.” And he must end the evening with, “Yeah I know you loved her, buddy. We all loved her,” as he nods his head and helps his buddy into the passenger seat of the ca...

Perseverance and frustration
2007-07-26 17:30:00 I have taken the car to work only twice or so since the day I realized that global warming is on the brink of becoming devastatingly abrupt and escalating. The fairly long distance (10 km), the biting cold, the rain, the snow, the strong head winds, the heat etc has been somewhat challenging but not too discouraging. The real challenge has been to remain sane when seeing all the fat asses driving by. How should I handle this frustration that I experience daily? I have a hard time blocking it out. Why are so few converging to a climate friendly behavior? Will the recent torrential rainfalls and heat waves uproot people from their carbon massive lifestyles?If not, what will it take?I hope the Toyota Prius Plugin will hit the market shortly...

Prospective Client Inquires About Severance & Separation Agreements
2007-07-06 17:05:00 A prospective client asked me about separation and severance agreements. More specifically, the company asked about terminating a long time employee (who?s also over 40 years old), and if they should offer this individual a severance and/or have them sign a separation agreement. Generally speaking, whenever I?m asked about employment agreements (e.g., severance, separation, hiring, noncompete and nonsolicitation), I ask the company why they think they need such an agreement. It?s not an absolute necessity to offer an exiting employee a severance or separation agreement unless the employer needs protection from that employee, the employer desires to offer the employee a going away gift, it?s pursuant to company policy or practice, or the company is satisfying the terms of a contract or agreement. More specifically, some of the reasons why a company might need a severance or separation agreement are as follows: In part, when an employer considers using a separation a...

Once Saved Always Saved or Perseverance of the Saints
2007-03-30 15:00:00 Eternal Security, the belief that when a person is genuinely converted to salvation by putting their faith in the finished work of Christ, that they are kept by the power of God and sealed by the Holy Spirit whereby it is impossible for them to lose that salvation and be separated again from the love of God. Although one may sin, as all do, following conversion, unconfessed sin is dwelt with by God through chastisement and not the loss of ones gift of salvation.Within the camps of Eternal Security believers, there lies in this corner Once Saved Always Saved (OSAS) and in this corner Perseverance of the Saints (POTS). At face value one might assume that they mean the same thing just different terminology. But that, my friend, would be an incorrect assumption, for they are very much different. Whereas the ends may meet as the individual crosses over into glory unable to lose his salvation, the means or actions by which he took while on this trip up the narrow road is indeed different....

Recovering from Failure: Lead With Perseverance
2007-02-19 06:02:05 "Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising up every time we fail. - Ralph Waldo Emerson Sometimes we don't get far enough to actually fail. We shrivel up when our fictional expectations come up short. Have you ever thought that it may take you five years to create stability in your small business? What if you spend another five years working the sales pipeline? Are you prepared to make that kind of commitment to reach your dreams? If your team is struggling to find the time you might be forced to carry the flag alone through a difficult season or two. Are you prepared to look at the same faces that once were so full of hope but now appear downtrodden and ready to cash out? Can you keep your crew together or will you find yourself alone at sea?

The Facts on Severance Pay: What's Required and What's Advisable
2005-04-02 01:41:00 Severance pay has recently become a topic of discussion with a client and, as a result, I took some time to do a little research. Severance pay is extra compensation (treated like regular wages) paid to employees as a result of involuntary termination or as an enticement to voluntary termination. Since severance pay is treated as wages, it would go on the employee?s W-2 just like any other wage. If you are in a situation where you might consider offering or providing severance pay, there are a few facts that you should be aware of. Severance pay is not covered under federal wage and hour (FISA) legislation but is covered in a few state statutes. For example, the State of Maine requires severance pay in the case of relocations or shutdowns. Therefore, an employer should check with their state department of labor before determining whether to offer severance pay and, if offered, how much to provide. While many employers provide severance pay for managers and executive le... |
