If you refuse to sign a release, it has now been confimed that Freightliner will pay you all severance amounts they have said they will pay in notices of termination, regardless of whether you refuse to sign a Release.
By law, the company is not allowed to withhold the minimum amounts set out in the Employment Standards Act. These amounts vary with your length of service with the company, and can range anywhere from one week to eight weeks wages.
I have known Blair Curtis for most of his legal career - for 12 years at least - and have received his excellent counsel on multiple occasions over that time. Blair always takes the time to provide a detailed explanation whenever needed or requested, yet remains extremely efficient in providing legal services. I have realized great benefits from his legal advice, and strongly recommend his services to anyone who needs an experienced and effective employment lawyer.
