Add Comment Question: I have been employed at the store for 29yrs. The company is closing the store. They have offered me 44wks paid bi weekly however if I get another job they will cut my severance by 50% are they legally allowed to do this if I get another job. I am the store director. Answer: Thank you for your inquiry. A clawback provision is commonly included by employers in severance packages, so long as the employer meets its obligation to provide minimum statutory entitlements. However, given your years of service, you may be entitled to a significantly larger severance package. Please contact us at the number below to schedule a formal consultation.
