I was terminated without cause on Dec 3rd. I have received my severance pkg and the deadline to answer is Dec 13th…typically every second f today I submit my hours for the previous two weeks. Should I do that as normal or hold off ?
Hello,
Once you have been terminated, your employer must pay to you all your worked hours and banked vacation time. This is on top of any severance you may owe. We recommend that you record your worked hours as soon as possible and ensure that they have been paid before agreeing to their severance proposal. One of the terms of any accepted severance proposal is that you release your employer of any claims you have against them related to your employment or its termination. Therefore, it is important that your employer knows that they owe you still for hours you worked or else they may legally refuse to pay those hours if you have signed off on their severance documents.
Feel free to contact us if you want to know if your severance package is fair or if you are entitled to more. You can also obtain an estimate of how much you may be owed by visiting severancepaycalculator.com
