Add Comment Question: How many weeks/months of severance does an employer owe you if you’ve been off on LTD for 10 years and they are saying you’ve frustrated the contract? Answer: If the legal test for frustration of contract due to medical reasons is met, the applicable termination amount is 1 week per year of service capped at 8 weeks. If the employer's payroll is at least $2.5 million, you are owed an additional 1 week per year of service capped at 26 weeks. The duration of the medical leave counts as service/seniority.
