this is more a contract question. I live on the AB side of the AB/BC border but work in BC. In my contract was offered a full enhanced benefits package. it s a close enough drive and I have homes in both provinces, plus I made sure I asked a variety of times if it was a problem I would retain my residency. Now it has come up they will only offer the package if I change my residence to BC, which I cannot do, it affects other family members and it not hard going back and forth. Since they made the offer and I asked this, I feel they owe something. they kind of said too bad, but it adds a value of thousands of dollars to the position.

I am 38 and I have been working at a financial institution company for 17 years. My employer is offering me severance with a lump sum reduced to 75% or salary continuance. I am also trying to negotiate a higher severance amount as they are only offering 2 weeks per year of severance. They pulled out an employee agreement that stipulates the amount of severance in the agreement and limits it to 2 weeks per year of service. However, this agreement was signed over a year after i started my career with the company it was signed when i internally transferred to a new role. Do i still have room to negotiate my severance pay?

I am being offered a severance package. My employer is offering a salary continuance with bi-weekly payments or a lump sum at 75%. I want the lump sum but do not agree to the reduced amount nor do i agree with whats being offered all together. I raised this with HR and they pulled out an employee agreement that was signed over a year after i started my career with them that states i would be entitled to 2 weeks per year of employment. What are my chances to negotiate a higher amoumt?
