Too Late?

[Rockerforlife]

Sorry for asking some many questions on this topic...but heres whats on my mind now...i have until wed of next week to cancel my wavier severance package agreement that i signed ...my question is ,can i cancel it before it goes tru and sue for discrimitory reasons instead of taking the standard  offer...im talking about my Doctors appontments and stuff...i never gave HR an official doctors note,but i didi tell supervisors i was going to be seeing the doctor on a regular scedulae once a month...maybe it wont hold up in court that i never had a doctors note...but i do have prove i was seeining the doc of course...im thinking if i go this route i may be able to go on company disabilty ..but i think that its  too late as i was already fired ...well..i got 3 days to decide if i want the offer they gave me...i didn even get a reference letter and it even states in the agreement i will be obllgated to pay back empyloyment insurance if its required...if i do all this will i be able to get my health benefits back that i had with my former employer?...i dont think so...if i cancel this agreement i think ill just have to wait 3 years before the trial in court...maybe just take the offer ...i got a new job now..i dont think its worth all the stress to go tru...


not looking for expert adviice...just blowing off my stress

Check the wording on your severance package.  Mine included benefits along with the severance wages for the durage of the severance payout term.  Ask for clarification if you don't see it spelled out clearly enough.  I don't know if continuance of benefits in a severance package in Canada are standard.

You won't get a reference letter necessarily even from an employer that you left on good terms.  Companies have been increasingly moving away from this.  If you know someone in the company who managed you and they're willing to give you a personal reference, that will work as good as a reference letter.  A reference letter from company these days only verifies that you worked there from A to B.  Get away from what makes sense to you and work with what is.

Good luck sifting.

Sounds like you worked out the answer in short order.

Many people on tx work full-time with difficult sides.  I'm not sure how you would claim disability, since you have no sides and are doing amazingly well on tx. It sure impresses me. I don't remember you mentioning disabling sides?

It's brave of you to start a new job tomorrow but at least it will be an easier commute and a paycheck. And some people here have said working gets them away from their four walls and helps their outlook about tx.

I'm nervous for you, starting a brand new job TOMORROW MORNING EARLY!  Good, good luck and let me know how it goes.

Another good question...if they make you use up your severance money before you can collect employment insurance,shouldnt this mean i should be still covered bt the former employer health benefits....as they classified the severance money as earnings?
