You need to speak with an attorney. They have offered you an agreement which is also generally known as severance. If you sign the agreement, you are waiving all of your rights to pursue legal action against the company. My office offers free consultations and after speaking with you we may determine that you should not waive all of your rights. In addition, we may be able to increase the amount of pay you have been offered as severance.
