Are your severance benefits subject to ERISA?
The provision of severance benefits may constitute an ERISA plan and therefore such arrangements may be subject to the statute’s requirements. Although case law provides guidance to employers, ultimately the facts and circumstances of the particular severance arrangement will dictate ERISA’s application.

This is also an issue for employers—striving to attract talent while keeping current employees happy—to consider when designing the terms of such grants.
