Legal Question in Employment Law in Maryland

Re: Severence agreement letter

It really depends on what the letter says. If it can be construed as an offer, and you indicated your acceptance before the employer revoked it, then it would be a contract, and you can sue to enforce it, or to collect damages.

You should have an attorney look at it. I'm happy to do it. Email me if you'd like to set up an appointment.

Re: Severence agreement letter

The important issue is not whether the letter was signed but the circumstances under which it was given to the employee and the person doing the giving. If the giver was an authorized company representative who tendered the letter to the employee in the course of the hiring process

with the intent that it be a binding document, which the employee then accepted, the fact that

the severance agreement letter did not have a signature is probably of little import.
