severance payment

By Rudner Law, Employment / HR Law & Mediation | 4 Minutes Read July 9, 2021

At mediation, the plaintiff will be asked if they received EI benefits; if they did, then a mechanism for obtaining a statement of account/debt from Service Canada, and a holdback of funds to cover any repayment obligation, is typical.
