Add Comment Question: My husband was terminated due to restructuring. His current supervisor will be taking on this responsibility in Toronto. The only negative mentioned was that his skills in Powerpoint were not where they could be. This was mentioned once last fall. He looked into taking an course, told his supervisor that there were two dates he could take the course and he did not respond. Is this grounds for dismissal? Could it affect his severance? Answer: Thank you for writing to us. In response to your question, there is no way, whatsoever that your husband's PowerPoint skills (or lack thereof) will negatively impact the severance he is entitled to. To see what your husband is owed visit the severance pay calculator our firm has developed (www.SeverancePayCalculator.com).
