AMAZING CUSTOMER SUPPORT!! A+++ Product outperformed other PDF software for my needs at the time! Customer services are A++, an annual subscription fee was taken as I had forgotten to stop this after my use, upon emailing pdfFiller's 'Live chat' the refund was processed and I received a confirmation email of this from PayPal in less than 30 seconds! If it wasn't for Covid19, I would have continued the subscription, but after losing my job my finances are paramount! Hopefully I will be in a position to return to your service in future! Thankyou pdfFiller!

Bottom line: It's okay to sign termination papers. Just don't do it on the spot, and only after a good attorney versed in contract and/or labor law deep-dives the papers and tells you her legal opinion is that signing the docs will not impair your rights or preclude you from doing anything now or in the future.
Although you don't have to sign a severance agreement, your employer may make it a condition of receiving severance pay. However, in most cases, an employer is free to condition severance on the employee signing the agreement. In other words, if the employee refuses to sign, the employee won't get any severance pay.
Federally, and in most states, a termination letter is not legally required. In some states, currently including Arizona, California, Illinois and New Jersey, written termination notices are required by law. Even if your state doesn't require a termination letter, they can be valuable to the business and the employee.
Answer: Your employer can't force you to sign the performance document, but there may be consequences for refusing to do so. For one, your employer could fire you for refusing to sign. If this is the case, you're not agreeing to the contents of the document by signing.
If you are fired or laid off, your employer may ask you to sign a release: a contract in which you agree to waive (give up) your right to sue the company in exchange for some benefit, typically severance pay.
if you refuse to sign the termination letter, the employer would be violating the law. Final pay, by law, must be paid in the same manner as other pay. That being the case, you could report this to your State's Department of Labor. That is an excellent question and the answer is yes.
In general, a person may be fired or have their schedule reduced for any reason as long as it is not a reason that violates a statute.
The following states require that employers provide written notice of separation (discharge, layoff, voluntary resignation) to a departing employee: Arizona, California, Connecticut, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, and Tennessee.
Florida is a jurisdiction of employment at will which means employers can terminate employees with or without cause and don't have to give notice of termination in most situations. Employees can also leave the company at any time without any reason.
Unless you are covered by an employment contract or state law that stipulates how you can be terminated, there are no restrictions on how an employer can fire you. Employers can fire employees over the phone, by paper letter or email, in person -- or yes, even by sending a text message.

Check your past feedback. Give them a warning. Focus on specific behavior goals. Fire early in the week and never on a Friday. Make it short, sweet and to the point. Do not let the employee linger. Ask for a release, and give the employee an incentive to sign it. Reassign the terminated employee's job duties promptly.

Which is why you should never say any of the following: "You just aren't cutting it compared to Mary.” Never compare the fired employee to someone else as justification.
It is lawful in California to be terminated over the phone and there is no specific paperwork that must be issued. It is lawful for the employer to terminate an employee on the grounds of the employee's attitude or skill with customers and other employees.
