Add Comment Question: I have worked for a company since 1985 and I am still there because they will not pay me a severance, so I am forced to work. I am 68 years of age. After all the years of employment, do I just walk out without nothing? Answer: You are entitled to termination pay only if the company ends your employment. If you resign or retire you lose the right to a severance package. Your Comment * Your Email * Your Name * Your City Note, your name, city and email is not displayed on the website.
