Standard Severance Provisions for Perrysburg, Ohio, and Beyond
Many times when employees get severance agreements, they do not know what to expect. There are some standard provisions included within packages in Perrysburg, Ohio, and beyond, including:
• Confidentiality clauses
• Ineligible for re-hire clauses
• Non-compete clauses
• Non-disparagement clauses
• Release of claims/waiving the right to sue
Although some of these clauses may seem unfair, they are not necessarily illegal. Employees should know what employers cannot include in severance packages to ensure the one they get is legal.

What Is a Discharge Agreement, and How Does It Occur?
When both parties agree to end a contract, the agreement gets terminated under mutual consent. There are multiple ways in which two parties can come to a mutual discharge agreement, including:
- Novation: Substituting a new contract in place of the previous one.
- Alteration: The parties involved agree to change one or more of the original terms.
- Remission: One of the parties has accepted less than the initial offer.
- Recission: Some or all of the terms have been canceled. Mutual consent and failure to perform obligations can cause this situation.
- Waiver: When a waiver occurs, one of the parties has abandoned their rights to the contract.
- Merger: Mergers occur when there is a meeting between an inferior and a superior.
