Q.Can an employer condition the receipt of severance on the employee's waiver of the right to sue?

A.YES. So long as the employer writes the plan to condition a release of rights (i.e., a promise not to sue) on payment of any severance benefits, you must agree not to sue your employer in order to receive them.
