My company is closing their plant in Barrie. I been currently off work due to a workplace injury for 2.5 yrs. Was offered at package at 13 weeks including vacation etc. My concern is I'm 59 yrs old, still on WSIB. I will never be able to work. Should they pay me more than the minimum ESA says? Plus my injury and age?

Hello,

To assess whether the severance package is adequate, I would highly recommend you contact our office to schedule a consult with one of our lawyers to assess your matter further. If the entire plant is shutting down than you my only be entitled to your minimum entitlements to termination and severance pay under the Ontario Employment Standards Act.
