Add Comment Question: My wife was working for a company and got laid off and wasn't offered a severance pay and was forced to take a job she didn't want to take for lower pay with a different company. Because she still had bills that had to be paid. That was 2 years ago. Does she still have a right to fight for her severance Answer: There is generally a 2-year limitation period to start a claim against an employer for termination. If she's within 2-years of her termination date, please have her call our employment team ASAP at 1-855-821-5900 Your Comment * Your Email * Your Name * Your City Note, your name, city and email is not displayed on the website.
