Deadlines are shorter than people expect
Employment claims frequently require a complaint to an agency before a lawsuit is possible, and those windows are short. If something happened weeks rather than months ago, that is the good version of this call.
Keep your own copies. Access to a work email account or an internal system tends to disappear on the day the employment does.
Before you sign the severance
A severance agreement is a contract, and the money is being offered in exchange for something, usually your right to bring a claim. Whether that trade is a good one depends on what the claim is worth, and that is worth knowing before the deadline to sign.
For employers
Most of the employer-side work here is preventive: a handbook that says what you actually do, agreements that are enforceable in Idaho rather than copied from another state, and a documented process for the decisions most likely to be challenged.

If anything has a date attached to it, say so when you call. A court date or a notice period changes what gets done first.
