Depends on lawyer and time at employer. in Canada you can get severance pay + termination pay + closing pay
You'd think so.
He thought for sure.
His lawyer strongly suggested it.
Nope.
Need a better lawyer because you aren't fully terminated till you sign the agreement. Had two friends deal with it. Company thought they would just do standard termination pay, lawyer got one person that plus severance for senior position and years, plus they owed an agreed upon closing pay for ending employment. They other person got every hour of pay they ever worked past their original signed salary weekly hours. Company thought theyd give a few weeks termination, ended up costing them half a years salary in OT
