Mutual Separations
Amicably part ways during mutual employee separations
Mutual separations are exactly that — when an employee and employer agree to the separation. Common examples include forced resignations, retirements, or the end of a contract. Mutual separations are often individualized, so one size does not fit all. Instead, they often include negotiated benefits and stipulations specific to the employee. Onwards HR’s offboarding compliance platform helps companies streamline mutual separations by automating severance pay, simplifying negotiations, and generating separation agreements based on each employee’s circumstances.
