Add Comment Question: If I have been at a company for 2 and a half years and they are letting me go because of downsizing. How much severance am I eligible for?? Answer: Hi there, Your notice and severance entitlements depend on a number of factors including your age, tenure, and position. We will also need to review any relevant terms in your employment contract (if one exists). I would recommend that prior to agreeing to any severance offer made by your employer you contact our office to schedule a telephone consultation so that we can go over everything with you and advise of your entitlements which could be significant. .
