What people miss
Most releases waive every claim you have, including ones you do not know about yet. Check whether it carves out unpaid wages, vested benefits and anything the law says you keep.
Severance is a common place to add a non-compete or non-solicit that was never in your offer letter. Read the restrictions section as if you were job hunting tomorrow.
Look for clawback language - repaying the severance if you break confidentiality or non-disparagement - and how the employer decides you broke it.
If you are 40 or older, federal law gives you at least 21 days to consider a severance release (45 in a group layoff) and 7 days after signing to take it back. The agreement has to say so in writing.
