Add Comment Question: 17yrs employed at company. terminated on a Friday afternoon. no termination notice or pay and no severance pay. reason given for termination to many lates and call ins. am I not entitled to get something?? Answer: My name is Stan Fainzilberg and I am associate at the firm. It is very difficult to terminate someone after 17 years without paying them anything, even if they have had issues with absenteeism. It is highly like that you are still entitled to a severance package based on your age, position, and length of employment.
