I was given a bill 168 letter for harassment, no investigation has been done, I was never asked or able to discuss incident. I have been told to sign the letter and return to work the next day or they will deem that I have quit my job. I have been there 18 years. Am I better to resign or be terminated to receive any severance? What are my options in regards to bill 168 and fighting this? Thank you.

It is up to you. You do not have to sign. If you don't sign, you get severance. The refusal to sign is NOT a resignation. They can choose to let you go, but they would have to pay severance. After 18 years, the amount of severance you would be owed would be quite significant. If the company does let you go, please give me a call right away.
