I suspect my employment will terminated soon, without cause. I have held a senior management/executive role with a major organization for 5 years, and I am 41 years old. When I accepted my current job I signed a letter of employment that includes a separation clause. It states that the employer can terminate without cause "by the provision notice, pay in lieu of notice and severance pay, as applicable ad as prescribed by the ESA and this shall be your full and final entitlement". Does this mean I inadvertently waived my right to a severance higher than the Ontario ESA minimum ?. Will I likely be offered an ESA minimum by my employer (ie. 1 week/year of employment)
Your employment agreement does seek to limit you o the ESA minimums. Your FULL termination entitlements could easily be around 8 - 9 months. That said, we may be able to get around he employment agreement. I would need o see it. Please give me a call and I will then ask you o fax or email me the agreement and I will then be able to ell you for sure what you are owed.
