Job Abandonment

As is often the case, employers use an employee’s departure as an opportunity to relieve themselves of that worker’s services. But not so fast: Where an employee expresses or implies a desire to return to work, she won’t be viewed as having resigned.

How do I tell if my severance is fair?

I was terminated without cause from my job recently after working there for three years. The company said it was a business decision. They have given me three weeks termination pay and my benefits until this month. If I agree to sign a “full and final release and indemnity” form they are offering one additional week of termination pay and an additional week of benefits. Is this fair or should I ask for more?
