Mutual Separations

Streamline the employee separation process

Termination by mutual agreement occurs when an employee and employer consent to the separation. Examples include forced resignations, retirements, or the end of a contract. Because mutual separations are individualized, one size does not fit all. Instead, mutual separations often include negotiated benefits and stipulations specific to each employee. We’ve built a tool that streamlines this process by allowing you to offer custom benefits and tailor agreements based on each employee’s circumstances.

Justification Documentation

During a mutual separation, it’s imperative to document your decision making.

  • Explain the business reason leading to the separation

  • Define why the separation classifies as a mutual separation versus a RIF

  • Document steps taken to address potential problems before reaching the point of mutual separation

Custom Severance Benefits

Every mutual separation is different, so flexible severance benefits are key.

  • Track what the employee is being offered, including weeks of severance pay, rehire eligibility, EAP benefits, bonus/commission, and any special medical considerations

  • Review base severance and benefit amounts automatically calculated by the system

  • Manually adjust severance and benefit amounts based on each employee’s specific situation

Using configurable templates, you can quickly generate mutual separation agreements. 

  • Integrate your company’s policies with our rules engine to generate template content driven by your specific business rules

  • Customize your workflow to automatically generate documents when the mutual separation process reaches a certain stage

  • Easily regenerate documents based on unique business rules or triggers without manual intervention 

  • Upload custom agreements for employees with special circumstances

  • Locate and review the documents created for each employee

If audited, you’ll know that pertinent information is stored in a single location — not scattered in email threads and spreadsheets.

  • Track the status of each separation from beginning to end
