The checklist
Before you sign anything
Don't sign right away.
A release can affect your rights. Take time to understand it first.
Get it in writing.
Keep your letter, contract, pay stubs and ROE.
Know the minimums.
The Employment Standards Act is a starting point, not the full picture.
The minimum may not be the limit.
Your contract and the common law matter too.
Watch the deadlines.
Some time limits are short. Get information early.
General information, not legal advice. Every situation is different.
