Prior to accepting a severance package, Horowitz said workers should question:

If other people in the company should have been selected for layoff
If you’re part of a legally protected class including race, age, gender, disability, nationality, sexual orientation, religion

“If the answer to any of these questions is yes, it’s important to contact a lawyer,” he said.
