► 5:02 A caller from - I took a year off work for hip surgery. When I returned to work, I was put on a performance improvement plan. How much severance pay would I be owed if I fail to satisfy their plan?
• More on severance pay and how it's calculated (
► 8:11 - What’s the difference between a termination vs. layoff? If I’ve technically been “laid off”, am I still allowed to ask for severance pay, or is an employer within their right to say no?

► 20:10 A caller from - I was off for a month after a soft tissue injury. Following rehabilitation, I returned to work on modified duties. I’m supposed to return to regular duties soon, but I don’t feel ready yet. How do I stay on modified duties?
► 23:39 A caller from - I was just let go on Monday after 6 years at the company. Because I was at a federally regulated business, I was given 2 weeks in lieu of notice and 2 days’ pay for every year of service. Is that enough severance pay? I’m 53 years old.
► 26:05 - If a company’s payroll is less than $2-million per year, are they exempt from paying their employees severance pay?
► 27:12 - I just gave my employer of 4.5 years my notice of termination. However, I just read my original employment contract, and discovered that I agreed to a non-compete clause! Is it enforceable?
