Why this matters
The 21-day acceptance window is standard in employment releases but is often missed in the stress of termination. The revocation window also creates a short post-signing deadline.
Lawyer review required
Legacy extraction reference — The payment deadline and revocation window are triggered by the signing date. These cannot be calendared until the release is signed — flag them for follow-up.
