Legal Question in Employment Law in Texas
No sue agreement on termination
Does an agreement to forego suit as a requirement to receive severence pay have any validity? A person is laid off but required to sign an agreement to receive 3 week severance pay. Could a person sign, take the money, and still take legal action if evidence of wrong doing surfaced later? Thank you.

Re: No sue agreement on termination
Yes it has validity..and each case needs scrutiny before filing a claim.
Most lawyers would not because it could be frivolous..and both you and the lawyer could be liable for costs, etc...
