Severance Negotiation Considerations for Long Island Professionals

Long Island professionals often receive severance agreements tied to corporate restructurings, facility closures, or management changes at healthcare systems, corporate offices, and regional businesses. These agreements may include WARN Act obligations that affect the severance calculation and timing. Understanding your rights under federal and state plant closing laws is important context for severance negotiations.

Healthcare professionals on Long Island should be particularly attentive to non-compete provisions in severance agreements. Restrictions on practicing within a certain radius of the former employer can significantly limit your options across Nassau and Suffolk Counties. We negotiate these provisions to preserve your ability to continue working in your specialty area.
