Add Comment Question: I was terminated for missing too much time in last 12 mos. with out warning but employer said warnings are in my file.am I entitled to severance?8yrs in manufacturing Answer: You are entitled to severance, unless the employer can show a long history of absences (without justification) as well as numerous warnings. This would be very difficult for the employer to show. After 8 years, you could be entitled to as much as 10 months of severance, depending on your age. It is very important that you call me to discuss. Your Comment * Your Email * Your Name * Your City Note, your name, city and email is not displayed on the website.
