... in regards to a severance pay out. I have a friend who's dept. got consolidated and moved to a different part of the state. They offered him to make the commute or take severance. He took severance, and it was so slow at work he left about an hour and a half early. When he got home to read the paperwork with wifey it says he needed to work "satisfactorily" until his last day. Because he left early he is now freaking out that they're going to deny him. I told him chill, I doubt 90 minutes would negate the payout after what the company did to him but he feels that if the company just up and moved and he wasn't with it that they would use that loophole against him. What's your thoughts guys and gals?

did he just go home on his own accord? also, is this okay with his job? like has he done this before? or is this the first time (if this is the first time and he ain't tell anyone, he's an idiot).
at any rate, he should just do his work hard and try to make up that 1.5 hours later if necessary (if they say anything he can claim he left early because he knew he'd be working later another day)

in any event, if it was his last day, the least he could have done was say "hey it's not busy and this is my last day so is it cool if I leave early?" only thing they could do is say yes or no. if they said no who cares, its' your last day.

the "work "satisfactorily" until his last day" statement should only cover the period from when he signs it (execution date) until his last day.
If he signs it, works satisfactory until his last day and then they deny his payments based on something that happened before the execution date, that's be really F'd.
But it's all hard to say without seeing exact language.
I would tell him don't worry about it.
