Add Comment Question: Over 33 years of service 30 in Canada and the last 4 in the USA. The company is selling the business and there is no position available. What effect will the US service have on my severance position? Answer: I would need to see your employment agreement. It is quite possible that US laws apply to you, in which case you likely get almost no severance. I need to see your employment agreement to be able to say for sure.
