In plain words
If you sign to admit "resigned voluntarily for personal reasons," severance pay and unemployment insurance benefits usually both disappear. Quitting on your own is not among the situations in which severance is paid, except when the company is at fault, such as owing wages or not paying social insurance. You don't have to sign the same day; sleep on it first.
