Add Comment Question: I was just terminated from my job of 7 years. The reason they gave was that they are going another way. They never told me to improve on anything and I am completely blindsided. They gave me a contract and it says I need to bring it back signed in 4 days or i won’t get anything. They want to give 7 weeks pay and 4 weeks of gift pay. Is this a fair offer? Do I have a case to ask for more? Answer: Thank you for your question. My name is Stephen Gillman and I am an employment lawyer at Samfiru Tumarkin LLP. From what you have provided the offer is not adequate. Do not be concerned with the deadline, you have two years from the date of your termination to take action. Before signing the release or agreeing to the package it is very important that you receive legal advice. I would be happy to provide you free and confidential consultation to fully review your package and options. Please email me directly so we can set up a time to discuss (stephen.gillman@stlawyers.ca).
