Add Comment Question: Store closing, as of December 31st, 2014. Gave notice to employees, once Landlord released us from Lease. Notice was done verbally. Do I still need to give employee Termination Letter and 8 wk Severance. Note Employee was off over 10 weeks due to illness. Answer: You still have to provide severance and it may be much more than 8 weeks. It is very important that we discuss this. I can be reached at the number below.
