Severance pay
"Severance pay" is compensation that is paid to a qualified employee who has their employment "severed." It compensates an employee for losses (such as loss of seniority) that occur when a long-term employee loses their job.
Severance pay is not the same as termination pay, which is given in place of the required notice of termination of employment.
