Answer: Thank you for reaching out to our firm. So long as there is no just cause for your termination, which it certainly does not sound like there is, then you will be entitled to severance. How much that amount is will depend on a series of factors and we recommend that you use our severance pay calculator to get an idea of your potential entitlements (www.severancepaycalculator.com). That said, it is very likely that you will be entitled to more than nine weeks. If you would to schedule a consultation with one of our lawyers, please contact the number below.
