I own my own business and have employees. "Separation fee?" If I have to let someone go, it'll be due to poor work ethics on their part. I'll pay them whatever amount they've earned up until that point and nothing more.
My responsibility to my hired help is to not only provide them with a safe working environment, but also to make sure that I have enough work to go around -- meaning I'll not hire more than what's needed to get the job done. I pay them a fair and respectable wage. But for someone to look for more than the bare minimum required when leaving or being fired is both ugly and presumptuous.

You mean if you are laid off or fired? Many lay offs have a certain amount based on your time with the company. One example would be 4 weeks plus a another week for any time in service over 5 years. Some just give 2 weeks, so give nothing.

The more professional the job, the higher the "separation fee".
There's a difference between layoffs and firings. Firings are often not compensated.

They are not obligated to pay you for anything except hours worked. Some companies may have their own guidelines concerning layoffs, but there is nothing that legally requires them to.

Your last paycheck for your hours worked is all your employer is legally bound to give you.

their salary based on the number of hours worked during the last pay period.
