Iam I entited to severance? I was there 5 yrs and averaged 35-40 hrs a week Answer: You are most likely entitled to severance. Unless otherwise agreed to verbally or in an employment contract, an employer cannot unilaterally reduce your hours or pay - that amounts to what is called a "constructive dismissal". It's important in the circumstances that you address this issue as soon as possible. Use our Severance Pay Calculator to find out how much you may be owed and then give is a call to set up a consultation.
