I was fired without cause yesterday and offered 8 weeks severance plus an additional 4 weeks if I sign by Monday that I won't sue them. My questions is am I entitled to more? Small company 30+ employees under 2.5 million in payroll, I have worked for the company for 22 years.

Hi Kevin,

Thank you for your question.

Given what you have said, it is extremely likely that you are owed significantly more than just 12 weeks of total notice/severance. Depending on your position, age, and the availability of similar employment, you could be owed upwards of 24 months notice/severance.

I would not suggest you sign by Monday. Instead, I highly recommend that you contact our firm to schedule a free consultation. During the consultation we will be able to gather more information and be in a much better position to properly advise you as to your full rights and entitlements.
