What is the name of your state? California
I just got terminated or laid off. The company has offered me a severance pay if I sign a "settlement agreement and release of all claims" forms.
I read the agreement and I am not planning on suing....I just want to get my sevarance and go on my way.
There is a clause that states:
...Employee acknowledges that Employer has paid in full all compensation, wages and other monies and benefits due and owing to her by Employer.
If I sign this does this mean I am not eligible to receive unemployment benefits when I file with the EDD?
I am negotiating my sevarance pay at this time, should I tell my ex employer to include in there a clause that states that I will be able to receive unemployment insurance benefits?
Please advise.
Thank you.
