Add Comment Question: Does an employer have a right to stop me from earning money from my side business during a salary continuance period? Answer: It all depends on the severance terms that you agreed to. I hope that you did not sign anything without getting advice. In any event, give me a call and let me take a quick look at the severance agreement. I will then be able to tell you exactly what your rights are.
