Add Comment Question: Is there a deadline on how long I have to send my boss a letter requesting Pay in Lieu of Notice after I have been terminated with cause, without severance pay? I was not given ANY verbal or written notices of my"willful misconduct" prior to my termination. I was fired on April 3 and I still have not received my ROE (I've checked my mail and my online Service Canada account). Thanks, Christie Answer: Thank you for your question. The only real legal deadline for pursuing a severance claim is 2 years from the date of termination (the limitation period). However, it is important to note that the sooner you address the issue, the better. I would strongly encourage you to give us a call at the number below to discuss your situation in more detail.
