Seminar – Your Severance Options, 24 June 2014
The RCEA attempted to set up seminars for other locations across Canada, via video or call in conference sessions, but for many reasons it could not be worked out because of legal and logistic reasons.  Session presenters, who are not licensed in select provinces, legally could not hold sessions in those provinces. If you have any questions regarding your severance you are welcome to contact the RCEA, or your pay and benefits contact at NRC.  An information package from NRC will be sent to your home address so please make sure your home address is updated on the Government self-service portal.
