I'm currently on mat leave and was terminated a few days ago. There are a few issues that lead me to believe there's a human rights code violation. I'd rather resolve this a move on but I haven't received anything in writing from them -- just a phone call from my boss and hr. I have an email drafted that is assertive yet fair where I'm requesting severance terms. My question is should I hold off on this email until I receive something from them first or should I just go for it? I really want to get some things documented and in writing so I don't want to wait on them.
