At Trial lawyer Tim Leigh-Bell, we understand that losing a job—especially under difficult circumstances—can be overwhelming. If you’ve been offered a severance package, it’s crucial to understand what you’re entitled to before signing anything. Our firm provides expert legal support to help you evaluate, negotiate, and maximize your severance payout.
What Is a Severance Package?
A severance package is compensation offered to an employee upon termination. It may include notice pay, salary continuance, benefits continuation, pension adjustments, bonuses, and more. In Ontario, employers are legally obligated to provide reasonable notice or compensation in lieu of notice unless there is just cause for dismissal.
However, many employers present severance packages that fall short of what employees are legally entitled to. That’s where we come in.
Why Legal Review Is Essential
Severance packages often include legal jargon, waivers, and deadlines that can pressure employees into quick decisions. Once signed, you may be unable to pursue additional compensation or legal action. Our experienced employment lawyers carefully review all terms and explain their implications so that you can make an informed choice.
We Help With:
- Reviewing severance packages for compliance with Ontario law
- Identifying gaps or underpayments in proposed compensation
- Negotiating fairer terms, including extended benefits and higher payouts
- Addressing non-compete and confidentiality clauses
- Evaluating performance-related justifications for reduced severance
- Challenging severance offers tied to constructive or wrongful dismissal
