Add Comment Question: My husband was dismissed from work. In the letter the company wrote that he was not a ggood fit from the organization. He worked for this company for 2 years but he was employed at the same mill for 40 years but the mill changed owners several times. They gave him a waiver to sign within 7 days and told him to get the 2 weeks severance and the vacation pay he had to sign, so he did. He didn't talk to anyone as he was ashamed, but after a few weeks people told him that it was a mistake signing the form and that he should sue. I believe he was taken advantage of by the company and they didn't pay him a fare severance Answer: Thank you for your question. My name is Stephen Gillman and I am an employment lawyer with Samfiru Tumarkin LLP. While it was certainly not advisable to sign the release, there may be a way in which to invalidate the agreement. I would need more information to properly asses the situation. I would encourage you to contact me as soon as possible so I can review the documentation and discuss with your husband. I would be happy to set up a free and confidential consultation. Please email me at stephen.gillman@stlawyers.ca so we can set up a time to talk.
