I have heard that companies tend to overpay severance so the employee may be less likely to come back and sue.
I guess it all depends. The other question you need to ask is if it is worth it to sue? One of my past jobs my boss had to use me as a reference because the employer would only confirm employment due to the lawsuit. He ended up getting an extra $20K, but wasn't able to find a job for 6 months.
