If i was lured away from my job of 18 years for a sales position and now after 3-4 months of work we are slow and they are thinking of letting me go, what are my options?
Hello there,
You may have a claim of inducement whereby the company may be required to take into account your prior 18 years of service at your previous employer in determining your severance package. However, we will first have to examine the circumstances of your current employment as well as the efforts made by the company to lure you in. Should the company terminate your employment I would recommend that you contact our office before accepting any severance package that is offered as your entitlements may be significantly higher than what is offered to you.
