Bad clauses are a pretty normal part of severance deals. And totally unenforceable, sign it, take the money, ignore their calls.

Take the money. Change all your phone numbers.

Pound sand and lots of it in double handfuls.

"The bank's severance agreement requires terminated employees to remain available for two years to provide help if needed, including in-person assistance, and to do so without compensation."

Sure....as soon as these monkeys fly out of my butt.

What is the severance package?

That's the question to ask. This sort of service isn't free and it would be fantastically stupid (and risky) to demand it.

I was working for a company that was acquired by a rival. Everyone but a select group was shown the door; those of us who were lucky were put on a two-year transition team with the understanding that at two years plus one day, we were done.

After the less lucky were out the door, the other shoe dropped: full salary for those two years plus a year's worth of salary as a bonus. We just had to see that nothing bad happened during the transition. It was smart insurance and a bunch of us got rehired anyway.

You can’t require someone to work without compensation.

The 13th amendment says the same thing.
