On May 10th, 2013 I had signed my employment offer with my employer, which states that I would receive Restricted Stock Units (RSUs). Exact wording from offer letter is :"We will recommend to the <Company> Board of Directors ("Board") that at a meeting following commencement of your employment, you be granted XXXX restricted stock units that, upon vesting, convert to an equal number of shares of Autodesk common stock. The restricted stock units do not have a purchase price but are subject to taxation upon vesting..."
I recently voluntarily quit in March 2017 but hadn’t received any RSUs. I have talked to the HR and they are willing to negotiate and are offering a lump-sum amount in exchange of a release of claim. The lump-sum amount is significantly lower than the market price of the RSUs owed to me. Their take is that the time is past the statute of limitation and they are doing this as a goodwill measure.
Do I have a case to take them to court?
I live in Toronto, Canada and worked for the company based in Toronto, Canada.
<Company> is the name of my employer.
XXXX is the count of the RSUs.
