I have a WSIB claim ongoing and I was terminated without cause. I have til Friday april13 to sign the agreement which states 4 months severance (and benefits) I’ve been there 4 years. If I don’t sign, I get the basic entitlement. There was 7 people fired. 2 were WSIB, 1 was on sick leave. I don’t want to sign my rights away knowing I can’t work right now (and I can’t drive due to doctors orders) I’m desperate for the $13,800 they are offering me but don’t want to sign my rights away. It’s a 5 page contract. I have worked here 4 years 3 months.
My name is David Vaughan and I am an employment lawyer with Samfiru Tumarkin. To determine if 4 months' severance pay is fair, please visit the severance calculator (http://www.severancepaycalculator.com/). Further, please contact our firm to discuss the matter in more detail as this could amount to a human rights violation.
