- W1600996913 abstract "The vast majority of federal circuits now use the totality of circumstances test to determine if an employee's waiver of most non-ADEA federal employment claims meets the requisite knowing and voluntary standard. This test does not contain any per se requirements; instead, it includes six or more factors (depending upon the circuit) that a court must weigh. Many of these factors depend solely upon the employee and are outside of an employer's control. These factors can, for example, include: (1) whether the employee actually consulted with an attorney before waiver signature; (2) whether the employee actually knew or should have known of his or her employment rights at the time of waiver signature; and (3) whether the employee actually read and considered the waiver before signature. The test's other factors are solely within the control of the employer and do not depend upon, or vary with, the employee. This article proposes a Waiver Certainty Test as the better choice for determining whether a waiver of non-ADEA federal employment claims is knowing and voluntary. This new test imposes four employer-controlled requirements for a valid waiver: (1) it must contain clear, unambiguous waiver language; (2) it must be supported by valid consideration; (3) the employer must afford the employee up to twenty-one days to review the waiver before signature; and (4) the employer must advise the employee in writing to consult with legal counsel before signature.The Waiver Certainty Test both dovetails with the do-it-yourself waiver philosophy that Congress embraced in the OWBPA and offers a black-and-white approach that better serves the interests of employees, employers and the courts. Specifically, this new test is more beneficial for: (1) employees, by affording concrete waiver protections and rights that the totality of circumstances test omits; (2) good-faith employers, by setting forth a set of waiver requirements that are within an employer's control; and (3) the judicial system, by reducing the trend of often unsuccessful, waiver-related litigation caused by the uncertainties inherent in the totality of circumstances test." @default.
