If you are still inside the notice period
You remain an employee until the effective date, and you are still being paid. That is the window in which severance terms, a separation agreement, or an extended end date can still be discussed. After your last day, most of that leverage is gone.
California does not require an employer to pay severance. Anything you receive is negotiated, or comes from a policy or contract you already have. Read any agreement carefully before signing, particularly clauses that waive your right to sue, and be aware that you are generally entitled to time to consider it.
