Add Comment Question: Hi, I am likely to be RA'd (resource actioned) in the next few months and will likely be receiving a severance package. I will (I imagine) be given some time to review the package before I am required by the company to sign it. My question is - is there a minimum amount of time that I must be given for that review (as I would like to discuss it with a lawyer) Answer: By law, there is no minimum amount of time. However, in practice, companies typically give an employee at least a week to review it. When you do receive the severance package, please give us a call and we'll happy to take a look.
