Summary

Today, let’s talk about employees who are thinking of resigning, or have been terminated or separated from their jobs. I’m going do a magic trick right now and try to guess the most burning question in their heads. Are you ready?

I bet they’re thinking: “Will I receive separation pay?” And it’s the same question that our reader, Lailan M., asked “Attorney, if an employee has been with the company for 10 years but went AWOL, does he have the right to ask for separation pay?” If you’ve been wondering the same thing, stick around and let’s tackle that in today's article.

This summary is based on the video's description. For general education only; not legal advice for your specific situation.
