Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A release is a legal document signed by an employee which releases the company from any future legal claims related to the termination of employment. It is a common tool used by companies to reduce the possibility of a lawsuit. Non-compete agreements and non-disclosure agreements are not relevant in the context of termination of employment without proper documentation, and an employment at will statement may not offer sufficient protection.
