TELUS is a telecom and tech company offering services in health, mobility, internet, and business communications. Their Ottawa offices span sales, service, IT, and enterprise support. Layoffs often occur during reorgs, digitization shifts, or department consolidation.

Steps to Take if You’ve Been Laid Off or Offered Severance:

1. Read the Offer—Then Pause

You are under no obligation to accept immediately. Legal review is key.

‍

2. Include All Compensation

Does your package cover:

• Bonus pay
• Stock or RSU programs
• Sales commissions?

‍

3. Examine Non-Compete & NDA Terms

Some TELUS exits come with restrictions on future work or communications. These can be negotiated.

‍

4. Don’t Assume Your Title Limits Your Rights

From customer service to senior tech roles—Ontario law protects all non-unionized employees.

‍

5. Talk to a Lawyer

One of our employment lawyers can improve your payout, clarify rights, and protect your professional future.

‍

FAQs:

• I was let go with cause—can I still claim severance?

Possibly. "Cause" is hard to prove legally.

• Can I challenge the termination?

Yes—especially if tied to performance reviews or forced resignations.

• Do I get benefits continuation?

Not guaranteed—but it can be requested.
