This week we are talking about another important topic that at first glance sounds extremely boring: structuring settlements. 

We know, you are on the edge of your seat. In employment law, settlements (not to be confused with severance packages) usually occur when an employee is fired and then makes some kind of claim of wrongdoing against their employer for damages. Jill and Dana discuss all of the different elements that can go into an employment law settlement, give several examples of how the situation might play out, and explain tax implications of having a settlement paid our in different ways.
