Add Comment Question: I have worked as a full time contract employee for about 63 months and was handed a letter which stated " After carefully reviewing your overall suitability, we have decided to end your contract employment... effective immediately". The letter goes on to say, "You will be provided with a payment of $9143.43 which represents your entitlement to termination and severance pay". My employment has been in good standing until recent months when I reported a co-worker's misconduct and seemingly placed a target on myself. Since that time I was disciplined twice, once for unacceptable quality of work and second for an excessive break time. Is the severance amount sufficient? Is there any further action I can take to increase my compensation? Answer: Further information is required from you in order to determine whether or not the severance amount is sufficient, but it sounds like you may have been wrongfully dismissed - particularly if you feel that you termination was a reprisal for reporting a co-worker's misconduct. I recommend that you contact an employment lawyer at the number below to discuss your entitlements and an action plan going forward.
