Workflow

Overview

Drafting employee separation agreements manually requires hours of research across state laws, EEOC requirements, and template customization. Attorneys must verify ADEA waiver compliance, calculate consideration periods, and ensure all restrictive covenants align with jurisdiction-specific enforceability standards while managing risk exposure.

Questions

How does CaseMark ensure ADEA waiver compliance in separation agreements?

CaseMark automatically incorporates EEOC-compliant ADEA waiver language, including the required 21-day consideration period (or 45 days for group terminations) and 7-day revocation period. The AI verifies all mandatory disclosures and plain language requirements are met for employees over 40.

Can the AI customize separation agreements for different states?

Yes, CaseMark researches and applies state-specific employment laws, including variations in non-compete enforceability, wage payment timing, and release requirements. The system automatically adjusts governing law clauses and provisions based on your jurisdiction.

What severance terms can be included in the agreement?

CaseMark drafts comprehensive severance provisions including lump sum or installment payments, COBRA continuation, equity treatment, bonus calculations, and benefits extensions. You can specify custom terms and the AI will structure them with appropriate conditions and tax considerations.

How long does it take to generate a separation agreement?

CaseMark produces a complete, customized separation and release agreement in 10-15 minutes. This includes all required sections, legal research citations, and compliance verification—a process that typically takes attorneys 3-4 hours manually.

Does the agreement include non-compete and confidentiality provisions?

Yes, CaseMark automatically drafts enforceable non-disparagement, confidentiality, and non-compete clauses tailored to your jurisdiction's standards. The AI ensures restrictive covenants are appropriately scoped and include necessary consideration beyond the separation itself where required.

What if I need to modify the standard template for unique situations?

CaseMark generates fully editable documents that serve as comprehensive first drafts. You can easily customize any provision while maintaining the structural integrity and compliance framework, saving hours of initial drafting time.

Are the legal citations and research sources reliable?
