Severance Package Review – Protect Your Rights with Pax Law Corporation

Helping You Understand, Negotiate, and Maximize Your Severance Pay in British Columbia

If you’ve recently been terminated or are facing a layoff, your employer may offer you a severance package. Before signing anything, it’s crucial to have an experienced employment lawyer review the offer to ensure your legal rights are protected and that you’re receiving fair compensation.

At Pax Law Corporation, we provide timely and thorough severance package reviews to individuals in Vancouver, North Vancouver, and across British Columbia. We help you understand what you’re entitled to under BC employment laws, assess whether your severance offer is reasonable, and negotiate on your behalf if necessary.

Employers often present severance agreements that limit your rights or offer less compensation than you are legally entitled to. Signing a release too soon can waive your ability to pursue wrongful dismissal claims or additional compensation.

Common issues we identify in severance offers include:

  • Inadequate notice or pay in lieu of notice
  • Incorrect calculation of length of service
  • Failure to account for bonuses, commissions, and benefits
  • Waivers of legal claims without fair compensation
  • Misclassification as an independent contractor

What We Do During a Severance Package Review

At Pax Law, we provide a comprehensive legal assessment of your severance offer. Our review includes:

  1. Evaluating your employment history and entitlements under the Employment Standards Act and common law
  2. Identifying potential claims for wrongful dismissal or bad faith termination
  3. Clarifying your rights and obligations under the proposed agreement
  4. Negotiating with your employer for a more favorable settlement if appropriate
  5. Advising you on next steps if you’ve already signed a severance agreement under duress or without full understanding

Who Can Benefit from a Severance Package Review?

Our services are ideal for:

  • Employees recently terminated without cause
  • Individuals offered a severance package they do not fully understand
  • Workers with long service who may be entitled to significantly more than offered
  • Professionals, executives, or contractors facing complex termination clauses

Whether you are a retail employee, a skilled tradesperson, a manager, or an executive, we will ensure your severance package reflects the full value of your service and your legal rights.

Timelines Matter – Act Quickly

There are strict limitation periods in BC for pursuing legal action after termination. In some cases, you may have as little as two years to commence a wrongful dismissal claim. Early legal advice can preserve your rights and position you for a better outcome.
