Severance pay New York State
Is an employer required to pay severance? Who gets severance pay? Do you have to request severance pay? Do you have to file a law suit? Do you need to have a written contract in order to receive severance pay? Is there ever the expectation of severance pay. Can an employer pay severance to one employee, yet not the other?

An employer is not under any obligation to give severance pay. I you are terminated under any circumstance you have nothing to lose if you ask for a severance payment.
