What is a Fair Severance Package?
Pursuant to the common law, fair and reasonable severance is not determined by a severance calculator, nor is it based upon a pre-determined formula based strictly on your years of service. In the vast majority of cases, lawful severance will depend on a variety of factors, including (among other things) the employee’s age, position, length of service and the availability of comparable jobs. This is not an exhaustive list of factors and there could be other relevant considerations that may impact your severance entitlement.
