Add Comment Question: Is it possible to go to back to a previous employer To get back severance pay even tho it’s been years since I left that employment Answer: Thank you for your question. The limitation period is two years from the date of your notice of termination, so if it has been longer than that, your claim would be statute barred. If it is close to two years, it is recommended that you contact us at the number below immediately to explore whether a claim can be issued for your entitlements.
