After a major corporate merger, you’re informed that your role is being eliminated, but your termination package seems unfair, given your decade of service.
If you’re being asked to accept a severance package, ensuring the offer is fair before signing. Employers often start with an offer far short of your legal entitlements, expecting a negotiation.
At Swann Law, we can assess your severance package to ensure it includes everything you’re entitled to. Have your bonus, pension entitlements and RRSP matches been factored in? Have your short-term and long-term incentive plans been properly accounted for? This is especially important if you’re entitled to unvested incentives or bonuses that should be part of your severance package.
Knowing your legal rights before signing can give you peace of mind and help you secure a better package. Our team of Toronto employment lawyers is here to negotiate on your behalf and ensure your severance reflects your contributions.
Don’t leave anything on the table — reach out to us before you sign.
