After a major depressive episode due to a family loss, my doctor recommended I scale back my work hours. My employer denied the request, suggesting a leave of absence instead. As a 30-year accounting employee aged 62, can I opt for severance instead?

Over the past year, I logged many overtime hours, which my manager assured me I would eventually be paid for. However, I was fired earlier this week and given a severance package that doesn’t account for these overtime hours. What should I do?
