severance
Significado: Compensation paid to an employee upon dismissal or termination of employment, or the act of ending a connection or relationship.
Severance is most commonly encountered in employment law and HR contexts, where 'severance pay' or a 'severance package' refers to money and benefits offered to departing employees, often in exchange for signing a settlement agreement. The broader sense — the act of severing or cutting off — appears in formal and literary writing, as in 'the severance of diplomatic ties.' In British employment law, severance is distinct from statutory redundancy pay.
