Losing your job is a stressful situation. In addition to the financial and emotional worries that almost invariably come with being terminated, there is often added confusion and frustration when it comes to determining your severance entitlements.
After being terminated – especially if your employment is ended without notice – there is a good chance you are entitled to compensation – but knowing what you are owed in terms of notice, pay or benefits is often less straightforward than you might expect.
Upon termination, your employer may ask you to sign a termination package or execute a Full and Final Release. It is strongly recommended to seek legal advice before signing such documents.
In order to ensure that you have been compensated fairly in accordance with your legal entitlements, Bergs Law can review your severance package and explain how it matches up with what you are really owed.
