Don’t be fooled into signing the release. Don’t allow your employer to hold termination pay over your head as an incentive to sign the release. Your employer is statutorily mandated to pay your entitlements under the Employment Standards Act, whether or not you sign the release.

If your employer has included a timeline to sign the release, they will generally allow for an extension. The reason why employers do this is because they ultimately just want you to sign the release. Make sure you bring the termination letter and release to an employment lawyer for a full and proper legal review.

If you sign the release, you are forfeiting your legal rights to initiate a claim for wrongful dismissal or for human rights damages. Before signing away your legal entitlements, contact us so that we can review the termination letter and release and advise you as to your full financial entitlements.
