Add Comment Question: I worked as a receptionist for a company for 4 years and then I was terminated and given two weeks severance but was made to work for those two weeks. Is that allowed. Answer: Depending on the language in your employment contract you may be entitled to much more than 2 weeks of severance. I strongly recommend that you schedule a consultation with a member of our team to review your circumstances in more detail and provide you with your options going forward.
