I live in British Columbia, was working remotely since the pandemic and I was laid off from my employer while on LTD late last year. I've been on disability since September 2023. I currently do not have a RTW date (just tentative) for future employers and the insurance carrier. They recently started asking for their office supplies back (laptop, monitor, etc.) I'm wondering if I need to send this before I have signed any documentation or severance letter? As I thought this could be seen as an agreement to their terms and conditions.
Hello,
While you may be owed more severance than what your employer has offered you, it is generally advisable to return their property when they request it. There is no risk that this will be construed as you accepting their severance offer. If you want to assess your severance entitlements, I recommend you speak with one of our experienced lawyers by visiting employmentlawyer.ca
