Add Comment Question: I worked for a company for 20 years and they just terminated my employment citing just cause for harrasement. I was offered 32 weeks severance and was asked to sign a release. Should I seek counsel or is this considered a fair settlement? I am 53 years old and will not be able to find a job paying the same or close to the same amount. Answer: Thank you for contacting our firm. The severance an employee is entitled to can vary widely depending on the individual circumstances. Offering 32 weeks of severance for a 20 year employee may not be a reasonable amount of compensation. We would need more information in order to assess the package being offered and whether you may be entitled to more.
