A release, also known as a separation agreement or severance agreement, is a legal document that outlines the terms of ending the employment relationship. It typically includes a release of any potential legal claims the employee may have against the employer and provides some type of compensation or benefit in exchange for signing the agreement. This can reduce the likelihood of a lawsuit by the employee. Non-compete and non-disclosure agreements are typically utilized at the beginning of the employment relationship, while an employment at will statement simply outlines the basic nature of the employment relationship.
