Add Comment Question: Over 5 years ago signed a basic contract which stated 2 weeks notice they terminate. Can I seek further severance. The document was never updated and contained no termination details Answer: The notice in your original employment contract may not be enforceable, as it may not comply with the minimum standards. I would recommend having it reviewed by a lawyer. Your Comment * Your Email * Your Name * Your City Note, your name, city and email is not displayed on the website.
