Add Comment Question: In a case of Constructive dismissal if I apply and get a new job does that negate the employer from paying a severance package? Answer: Hello my name is David Vaughan and I am an employment lawyer with Samfiru Tumarkin. If your employment has been constructively dismissed, you would be entitled to severance pay. However, any income you earn during the severance period would be deducted from the severance owed to you by your former employer (apart from your minimum termination entitlements under the Employment Standards Act, 2000). Please contact our firm to determine how this impacts your specific situation. Your Comment * Your Email * Your Name * Your City Note, your name, city and email is not displayed on the website.
