Red Flags in Redundancy Offers

Pressure to Sign Quickly

Legitimate offers don't require immediate signatures. You have legal rights to review time.

Broad Release Language

Overly broad releases may waive important rights you didn't know you had.

Excessive Non-Compete

Unreasonable restrictions on future employment may be unenforceable.

No Healthcare Continuation

Standard packages often include extended benefits - don't accept less.

Insufficient Compensation

One or two weeks per year of service is often below market standards.

No Reference Agreement

Without agreed reference terms, employers may damage your future prospects.
