Whitmer released an Executive Directive on Friday on how state agencies can end employee contracts.
The directive said state agencies can still enter into agreements with pay-outs something the state already does and it still allows for confidentiality agreements, unless it would cover up illegal activity.

”I am proud of these measures because they will benefit both state employees and the people of Michigan,” Whitmer said.
The directive comes after weeks of criticism and scrutiny over three separation agreements, including one made after the abrupt resignation of former MDHHS chief Gordon, who was paid $155,000 after he left and agreed to stay silent about his time at his post.
