Add Comment Question: My friend has worked for a company for 8 years - he is 50 years old and has experience only in this field (30 + years). His place of employment is getting sold to a new owner shortly - he walked into work today only to be told his position is eliminated - they are offering 8 weeks pay in Lieu of notice and 8 weeks pay severance - I believe he deserves more Answer: Thank you for reaching out to our firm. Your friend is very likely entitled to considerably more than what is being offered. Please have him contact me directly at kyle.shimon@stlawyers.ca so that I can discuss his matter with him.
