We understand that if you have been recently fired, you are going through a challenging stressful time. During this difficult time, you need to be aware of your financial entitlements to ensure that your former employer is not taking advantage of you. 

An employer always wants a terminated employee to accept the termination package and sign the Release. This is why you should be wary about signing away your rights without receiving legal advice. The first step is to determine if you are working under an employment contract with or without an enforceable termination clause. The mere fact that there is either no employment contract or no enforceable termination clause can lead to a significant increase in financial entitlements.  

Do not sign any Release provided by your employer until it has been reviewed by an experienced employment lawyer. If you would like your termination package to be reviewed, contact one of the lawyers at OWL LAW to review your matter to determine your proper financial entitlements and next steps.
