I was part of a company "resource action" on March 31st.
As part of the termination, i was provided with a lengthy document outlining the terms and conditions of the severence.
1. The offer seems to be bare minimum by ontario labour standards , 1 month.. I was employed for 4 years.
2. I was encouraged to find employment elswhere in the company, as my termination wasnt performance related but a cost take out (corp restructuring). I managed to get an interview, and mgr willing to hire (had funding, approval etc) , however HR advised that mgr no longer persue as this wasnt possible for the 2016 year...
I am required to sign the agreement by may 24 or else not entitled to the one month sev,
This package was provided to my march 31 and states an end date of june 24th... So 11 weeks notice...
Do i have a case here or room for negotiation? Seems to be some unlawful hr prActices at play here also.
