[QUOTE="pickup, post: 539248"] On the ADEA part, you are probably right. But that is why I said check with a lawyer, he knows better than I . Also, a lot of times age discrimination does occur but a lawyer won't pursue that course of action if it is hard to prove. As for legal action affecting ability to take a severance, .well that is a no brainer. Severance packages are generally offered in exchange for the employees waiving their legal rights to sue. If she decides to sue, their is no point in offering a severance. There is an incentive to up the amount of a severance if company wants the lawsuit to go away. As for severance given only in cases where positions are eliminated, maybe at ups but in other companies in other instances : not true. A relative of mine quit his job because he didn't like the new commission structure that was shoved down his throat . He felt it violated the current contract he was under. They offered him a severance but wanted him to sign papers agreeing to the new commission structure that they imposed upon him in the last year he worked there. They also wanted him to sign some non compete contracts. He refused to sign anything, didn't get the severance(i.e. didn't accept the bribe) and is now suing them for breach of contract . A suit he couldn't have brought had he signed the severance. And I might add, he has an excellent chance of winning. And he knew the odds were good because he consulted a lawyer in the last month before he quit and the lawyer determined he had an excellent chance of winning. If the lawyer told him otherwise, he would have taken the severance. Here is an interesting link about severances: [url]http://employeeissues.com/severance_pay.htm[/url] I am not telling the original poster what to do . My personal feeling is she will be battling a goliath and will have a hard battle before her and maybe an unfruitful one [/QUOTE]
