Add Comment Question: In Ontario, if you have been told your company (380 employees) is facing mass termination and are awaiting your official letter and severance, would you lose that severance if you accept a new role? What if the start date is at a later date (after the termination letter and severance acceptance). Answer: You may reduce the amount of severance you would otherwise be entitled to. However this will be dependent on your contract. Please contact us at the number below to schedule a consultation to discuss your situation further.
