If your letter of termination indicated pay in lieu and also severance. Is it dependant on the Release letter they provide?

Have been with the company for 35 years and I am 59years old. The company is being dissolved and dispersed, just wondering what I should expect as a severance or if I am even owed a severance. I am a truck driver. Also I have been getting 4% vacation pay for the entire 35 years and often do not take 2 weeks vacation a year, would I be owed anything for that?

We are a non-unionized factory in the GTA. I've been with the company for 10 years as a full time hourly employee (8:00am-4:00pm Monday to friday). The new owners have decided to put the entire plant on a 12 hour rotating continental shift. My question is if this can be grounds for constructive dismissal as this causes a situation that makes it almost impossible to maintain my position due to other commitments and disruptions. Thank you
