Description

A Release is a document which, if properly used, effectively extinguishes potential causes of action on the part of the releasing party. Thus, in employment situations, the Release is usually a written record of the intention of an employee to relinquish claims of all sorts against the employer. A severance agreement is a contract between an employer and employee documenting the rights and responsibilities of both parties in the event of job termination. The contract specifies any severance package of pay and benefits and the conditions under which it will be provided or withheld.



An Accord and Satisfaction is an Agreement between two parties to a contract, in which one party (which has a legal claim against the other) releases the other party from its obligations in return for some form of compensation. The agreement is the 'accord,' and the compensation is the 'satisfaction.'

FAQ

Employees who win a wrongful termination lawsuit typically receive compensation between $5,000 and $100,000. However, there is no set average for these cases, as the outcome depends on factors such as your position, salary, length of employment, and whether there were any additional damages involved.

A severance clause aims to ensure that a contract will survive the deletion of an unenforceable provision. For example, where a court later deems that a particular provision of a contract is no longer, or was never, enforceable, this deletion would not invalidate or deem unenforceable the entire contract.

In Alberta, termination “without cause” generally refers to situations where an employee is let go due to reasons unrelated to misconduct, such as business restructuring or downsizing. On the other hand, termination “for cause” occurs when an employee is dismissed due to serious misconduct such as theft or harassment.

Most termination clauses are an agreement between the employer and the employee that in the event the employer elects to dismiss the employee without cause, the employee will only receive what they are entitled to under the Employment Standards Code.
