Severance Package Claims for Allstate. If you worked for Allstate Canada and were fired for a legitimate reason, you might be eligible for full severance pay. To discuss your rights and obtain the compensation you are entitled to, get in touch with Samfiru Tumarkin LLP.
For certain kinds of involuntary terminations, Allstate has two pre-existing ERISA programs that provide severance or post-termination pay. Plaintiffs contend that due to Allstate's changes to its Pension Plan made before the Program's "employment termination date," these plans were insufficient to cover their lost benefits.
Employees who are not unionized may get severance pay for up to 24 months.
Up to 24 months of severance money could be yours if you were an Allstate employee who was laid off or dismissed. This covers anyone who work in Ontario and Alberta on a full-time, part-time, or hourly basis.
When compared to unionized employees, non-union workers frequently earn less money and typically do not have access to paid time off for illness or healthcare benefits. However, because they are employed "at will," their employer is free to terminate them at any time for just about any reason.
In their workplaces, unionized employees frequently have a louder voice and can discuss alterations to working circumstances, such as new tools or an additional day off each week. If they believe their employer is not treating them fairly, they may also request raises or other forms of compensation.
They are not need to consent to significant changes to their job.
Although being categorized as an independent contractor, an unsatisfied Allstate Insurance agent feels that the company treats him like an employee and has made the decision to join a union. The formation of a guild that would later associate with the Office and Professional Workers International Union is something that the National Association of Professional Allstate Agents (NAPAA) intends to put to a vote (OPEIU).
According to the group, Allstate manipulates the laws governing independent contractors, fires seasoned agents, reduces agency remuneration, and lowers agent morale. It's time to fight back, according to Tom Fish, president of NAPAA.
Yet Allstate denies the allegations. Allstate agents are deemed to be self-employed and independent contractors, not employees, according to the company's own courts and IRS judgements. The business denies NAPAA's allegations that agent morale is low and terminations are occurring often, claiming that "development potential have never been better" for their exclusive agent force.
They are not required to tolerate brief layoffs.
If you were a former Allstate agent, you are likely aware that the company just underwent a significant change in the way it conducts business in the insurance industry. Allstate has started to promote independent and direct channels rather than keeping with its captive agent strategy.
For many agents, this has posed a significant obstacle, making it potentially challenging for them to expand their clientele and keep current ones. Allstate has also decreased its commission rate, which makes it even more difficult for agents to support themselves.
The fact that Allstate decided to set minimal performance requirements for agents is a sign of how money-focused the company is. Undoubtedly, this tactic will result in additional layoffs.
They are not required to put up with bullying.

The Allstate program, among other things, mandated that agents refrain from approaching former clients who had already bought insurance or other non-insurance products from Allstate unless the client initiated contact and made a response to general advertising that was not regarded as a solicitation. While many Plaintiffs spent their lives cultivating relationships with clients and friends who eventually became customers as a consequence of the work they did for Allstate, this posed a significant barrier to business potential.
