I am currently waiting for my severance package, which is now a week overdue following my termination. Unfortunately, the documents were mistakenly sent to my deactivated work email. Although I’ve raised this issue with HR, they’ve informed me that the organization is experiencing a significant backlog of HR tickets and that resolving this may take time. However, they have not provided a clear timeline for resolution. I’m concerned that the severance package may include a deadline for my response, and with these delays, I worry I could miss it. Am I obligated to accept an offer under pressure to meet a deadline? Is there anything I should be concerned or aware of? In addition to recording detailed notes, are there any steps I need to take?
If your employment has been terminated and you have still not been sent a termination package, I recommend you contact our firm to schedule a consultation with a lawyer from our firm. We can review your severance entitlements and contact the employer on your behalf to ensure you receive a fair severance package.
