Under Massachusetts laws, your employer is required to give you 21 days to sign the severance agreement. After that time passes, it is up to them whether to extend it or not.
Also, after you sign it, you are supposed to given 7 days to revoke in case you change your mind.
AttorneyExpert, Expert
When did you send your response?
AttorneyExpert, Expert
So I believe they haven't had a chance to read it yet
AttorneyExpert, Expert
Since it's been just a little over 21 days, they might give you an extension
AttorneyExpert, Expert
You will need to negotiate with the company
AttorneyExpert, Expert
Yes, that would be a good reason
AttorneyExpert, Expert
The 21 working business days
AttorneyExpert, Expert
I mean, try to talk to them and tell them everything you just told me
AttorneyExpert, Expert
The fact that you didn't see the email and you thought it was 21 working business days
AttorneyExpert, Expert
It's good
AttorneyExpert, Expert
It doesn't happen quite often, to be completely honest
AttorneyExpert, Expert
I understand
Would it be possible for you to talk to them in person?
AttorneyExpert, Expert
I see
Then you will need to wait for their response.
Please let me know how it goes
AttorneyExpert, Expert
You mean you want to sue them?
AttorneyExpert, Expert
Unfortunately, you cannot sue them if they complied with the law.
AttorneyExpert, Expert
Yes, you should internally talk to the manager
AttorneyExpert, Expert
Ok
AttorneyExpert, Expert
I wish you all the best
