read moreNew York is an employment-at-will state, meaning that unless otherwise specified, employers may terminate the employment of a worker without having to provide "just cause." Severance pay is also not required by law; it is a voluntary act by an employer, unless there is a contract in place that specifies severance pay as part of the employment, or if the employer habitually provides severance pay. In any case, if a severance agreement is offered to an employee, some important legal consequences must be kept in mind.
