Ask your question and an employment lawyer in Ontario, BC or Alberta will answer in minutes
I am wondering in my circumstances if I could go after my former employer for more severance? There were rumours that they were going to get rid of older employees. My 89 year old mother had been murdered , stabbed 154 times and thrown around and hit over the head with a lampstead and had glass imbedded in her skin. The trial was coming up. I was being treated for stress. Then I got a text one night telling me to call the human resource and when I did she told me not to return to work the next day and I would be receiving papers I needed to look over. Thru pure panic I signed the papers. I was an excellent Personal Support Worker there and I was shocked and still not thinking properly from the trauma of my Moms murder. They also fixed the papers to show that I worked less years than I did but I didn't find that till too late. A former employee they let go said they did that to her too but she caught it in time. Can u help me?
Thank you for your question. We are so sorry to hear what you went through.
Unfortunately if you have already signed a release there is likely very little that we can do in this situation. This is sadly one of the reasons that it is so important to never sign anything before speaking with a lawyer.
