The law does not require employers to provide severance pay. However, some employers have established severance plans describing eligibility criteria and a formula for benefits for persons eligible under the terms of the severance plan. Employees must review the terms of any severance plan to determine entitlement to benefits.

Before I respond to your inquiry, I must state that we have not spoken, I have not reviewed the relevant documents and facts, and I do not represent you. Therefore, my discussion below is not a legal opinion, but is informational only. Finally, my discussion applies only to issues to which Pennsylvania, New Jersey or Federal law applies, unless otherwise specified.
That being said, unless you have a contract providing for severance, you have no legal right to severance, regardless of how long you work.
