Under California law, your employer must pay all earned wages in full at the moment of termination — unconditionally. Overtime, accrued vacation, and expense reimbursements cannot be withheld, reduced, or made contingent on signing a severance agreement. This isn't a negotiation. It's a legal obligation.
For clients with dependents or ongoing medical needs, this single negotiation can be worth more than the additional cash payout.
What your employer says about you after you leave can make or break your next job. Negotiating a reference is something every single client needs and most never think to ask for.
