If you are an executive or a c-suite employee, you earn higher compensation, get more benefits, and get options to purchase stocks – this makes it more difficult for you to get another job if you are terminated.

Employers often leverage your stress of being let go to pay you less severance or termination pay than you are entitled to. Unfortunately, they often succeed because: 

• You’re under pressure to take what seems generous 
• You want to put this humiliating experience behind you
• You’re worried about your references and don’t want to upset them further
• The wording of your employment contract appears to be on their side

Paying you less than you are entitled to is wrong. It violates your rights and it hampers your ability to make a smooth transition into a new position.
