Danish term (edited): gyldent h�ndtryk

golden handshake

an extra bonus payment as thanks and goodbye to a director or executive retiring (early) or leaving a firm.

Sometimes 'company politics' are involved, or the amount is considered unreasonably large, or it may be a sort of apology for dismissing the person, or to 'get ridof him (her). It may also be genuine thanks for faithful service.
