What to do right now

  1. Write a timeline of what happened, with dates, names, and witnesses.

  3. Don't take confidential company documents you aren't entitled to.
  4. Don't sign a severance agreement before understanding what rights you may be giving up.
  5. Note deadlines. Some workplace claims must be filed with a government agency within months.

How employment lawyers usually charge

Many employment lawyers who represent workers take cases on contingency. Others charge hourly or a flat fee to review a severance agreement.
