Severance pay/package
Hi everyone,
If your boss had to dismiss you because he/she didn't have a job for you anymore, you'd be entitled to severance pay. This seems a bit too formal to me. I suppose you'd be more likely to use something different rather than 'severance pay' in everyday conversation. Any suggestions?
Thank you!

I don't know if there's an 'everyday' way to mention it. Not all employers dismiss with a golden handshake (or severance pay); and it would depend on the employee's contract/employment terms. If the pay was weekly and the employee's performance was adequate, termination might just happen without pay beyond that date.
