I worked for a company for 20 years and they just terminated my employment citing just cause for harrasement. I was offered 32 weeks severance and was asked to sign a release. Should I seek counsel or is this considered a fair settlement? I am 53 years old and will not be able to find a job paying the same or close to the same amount.

Thank you for contacting our firm.

The severance an employee is entitled to can vary widely depending on the individual circumstances. Offering 32 weeks of severance for a 20 year employee may not be a reasonable amount of compensation.

We would need more information in order to assess the package being offered and whether you may be entitled to more.
