Hi, On April 13th I received a letter from my employer stating that my employment status will change from full time to part time, effective December 12th due to operational changes. I have worked in health care in a non-union position for 32 years with a good work record. I called the Employment Standards Board who informed me that I am entitled to severance pay due to constructive dismissal, but I am hoping to confirm whether or not this is accurate information? And if so, what do you estimate my severance to be?I am eligible for retirement in November and I think that my employer is trying to force me into retirement due to my age. Should I pursue a wrongful dismissal or an age discrimination case against them? My preference would be to retire with a severance package for fear of negative backlash from my immediate supervisors/managers for pursuing legal action. Any advice you have is appreciated. Thank you.
You are certainly entitled to termination pay and have no obligation to accept a part-time position. Please contact our firm to discuss this matter in more detail and determine how much you are entitled to. You can also visit the severance pay calculator at http://www.severancepaycalculator.com/.
