Legal Question in Employment Law in District of Columbia
Separation Agreement: General Release
Does the general release and covenant not to sue in a separation agreement benefit the employee in any way? Is there an argument to say it does benefit the employee to sign?

No, such language is clearly only for the benefit of the employer and one of the inducements for him/her/it to sign.
