Add Comment Question: I received a termination letter last week from my employer. I was a Director of Operations and had been with the Company for almost two years. I did not receive any notification of what severance my severance would be. I had just successfully completed a major project for the Company and was instrumental in the business development. They called it restructuring but I find that to be an unacceptable reason. Should I consult a lawyer and what am I entitled to? Answer: While an employer may legally terminate you on account of "restructuring" - or any other non-discriminatory reason - they have to provide you with a severance package that reflects the terms of any employment contract, your senior position, and length of service. Providing that you do not have a contract that limits your termination entitlements, you could be entitled to 6 months of pay in lieu of notice - possibly more. I highly recommend that you consult a lawyer, as you may have significant entitlements.
