Which side are you?
The employer is a company or a person hiring in their own name. The employee is the person whose job is ending, not a company or an LLC.

Agreement
When does employment end?
Provide end date for your employment separation agreement.
What earned pay is still owed?
This is wages and other amounts already earned. It is separate from severance.
What severance will be paid?
Severance is extra pay, not wages the employee has already earned.
Which state did the employee work in?

Include a release of claims?
A release gives up claims the employee is allowed to give up. It does not replace earned pay or vested benefits.

If yes, the release gives 21 days to consider it and 7 days to revoke it. A different waiting period the law requires still controls.
