Under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), severance pay is not considered wages and therefore does not count towards the calculation of overtime or minimum wage requirements. This exclusion means that employers are not required to include severance payments when determining compliance with FLSA regulations. Consequently, severance pay is treated as a separate form of compensation, typically negotiated between the employer and employee.
The payment of the employee's final wages is different from severance pay. Final wages are mandated by law to be paid -- an employee who is discharged must be paid all of his or her wages, including accrued vacation, immediately at the time of termination.

So in case of termination, the employee may receive both his final wages as well as a severance pay package (if provided by the employer).
