Would a person be able to make a wrongful dismissal claim against an employer even if the employee signed the termination agreement?

It depends. If the termination agreement releases the company from any future claims related to the employment or termination, and the agreement was not signed under duress, then that person would likely be barred from making a claim.

Would giving the employee two weeks to sign the agreement considered duress.
