The severance amounts listed in the previous posts are statutory minimums. Its possible that you may be entitled to more under common law. This was hinted at in Cecil's post, but just wanted to draw your attention to it. To figure out whether or not you're entitled to more under common law, you'd either need to read a bunch of cases, or contact someone with the appropriate backgroud (which may not be worth it in the long run if you need to pay for their services).
