If you work in the oil and gas industry in Alberta and your employment has been terminated, you likely have questions about your severance package, and whether what you’ve been offered is fair or legally enforceable.

In this video, we break down the key issues that commonly arise when assessing severance packages for oil and gas employees in Alberta.

In this video, we cover:

The Importance of Your Employment Contract
Whether “one month per year of service” is actually the law
How industry practice and past employer conduct affect severance (and when they don’t)
Whether oil prices and industry downturns can increase your severance entitlement
How bonuses, stock options, RSUs, PSUs, and incentive plans factor into severance
Lump sum severance vs. salary continuance

If you’re unsure whether your severance package reflects your true legal entitlement, it’s important to get advice before signing anything.

At Cashion Legal, we help employees facing job changes gain clarity, strategy, and peace of mind through practical advice and strong representation.
