Shared Wisdom Session: Severance Plan Design: Legal and Practical Considerations under ERISA and 409A

Session took place on February 27, 2013

On February 27, 2013 your ELLC colleagues discussed the pros and cons of setting up an ERISA severance plan. They analyzed when it's better to have an ad hoc (non-ERISA covered) severance program and when it's better to design and document a plan according to ERISA's often complex rules.  They also discussed the impacts of Section 409A on severance arrangements, including how to make your program exempt from 409A and how to ensure a separation from service actually occurs in cases such as garden leave and post-employment consulting arrangements.
