Your employment has been terminated and you are being asked to accept a severance package in exchange for signing a release.

Ensure that the severance package is fair before you sign.  Employers usually offer less than your entitlements as a starting point, expecting a negotiation. We can give you peace of mind that what you are signing is fair. More often, we can get you a better severance package. 

• Know your legal rights before you sign
• What is missing from your severance package?
• Should your bonus be part of your severance package?
• What about your your pension entitlements or RRSP match?
• How long will your benefits continue?
• How are your STIP and LTIP treated?
• Negotiate a better package with a Toronto employment lawyer
