My termination date was August 1, 2022. It is now the 22 of October and I still have not received my ESA minimum payout. The company and I are working on a severance package that we can both agree on. They are saying that the ESA minimums will be part of the severance package. Don't they have to payout the ESA amounts even before we agree on a package? Is this a breach and what can i do?

Good afternoon. I was just reading one of the posts on this site and it is similar to what I am going through. I worked at a business that is one of many owned by a larger company. I live in Ontario and had agreed to a severance salary continuance. However, the paper I signed was called a Full and Final Release that referred to the offer as Schedule A. The Release paper had both the business name and a legal name, and the offer has only the business name. The offer was the business name will pay me the salary. Will they keep paying my salary if they change the business name or the legal name or even both names?
