My old employer was abusive towards me and, after he found out I spoke to HR about it, he took some accounts away from me then issued a verbal warning against me for a low workload. I appealed the verbal warning (never heard back from HR) then I filed a complaint against him. I was offered a buyout and then I signed a severance agreement that has the following clause in it:
\"The parties agree and acknowledge that the terms of this Agreement are confidential. Each party warrants that it or she will not individually, jointly, or through its or her attorneys or other representatives, or those acting on its or her behalf in any manner publish, publicize, or other make known to any person the fact of this Agreement and/or the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and the discussions that led up to it, except to its or her financial or tax advisors; and then only after said advisors have agreed to be bound by the provisions of this paragraph to make no futher disclosure.\" If a future employer asks if I received any disciplinary action (such as a warning), do I have to say yes? There\'s a space where they want me to explain, but I feel like this agreement says that I am not supposed to say anything. Is this the right interpretation? |

You cannot refer to agreement terms themselves but you can divulge any events etc. that preceded it.
