How much time I am left with to sign a severance package if employer delivered termination letter on Dec/14/2018 and asked to sign within 07 working days.
Also I sent e-mail to employer on Dec/19/2018 that I do not agree on the terms provided to me, so in this case 7 working days condition still apply and employer can cancel my package which was offered earlier or after sending e-mail I am free of obligation to sign as I refused. Also note that employer did not reply my e-mail even after second day sending other request to reply.

Hi Zach,

My name is Andrew Goldberg and I am an Employment Lawyer at Samfiru Tumarkin LLP.

An employer is free to set a deadline for your acceptance of a severance package. However, do not sign the offer if you do not believe it is fair. By signing, you will almost certainly be unable to pursue a claim against your employer for wrongful dismissal.
