ASAP is best. Many employees assume their severance offer is fair and final, but it often isn’t.
Employers frequently offer only the minimum required under the Employment Standards Act, while you may be entitled to significantly more under common law.
Don’t let artificial deadlines rush you: you can ask for an extension or say you’re still reviewing the offer.
Do not sign anything until you’ve spoken with an employment lawyer, as signing a release can permanently waive your right to additional compensation.
A short delay to get legal advice can protect your rights and may substantially increase your severance.
