Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between termination and severance pay?
Termination pay (notice) is required for all employees with 3+ months service. Severance pay is additional compensation for employees with 5+ years at companies with $2.5M+ payroll or 50+ employees being laid off.
What is common-law severance?
Courts often award more than the statutory minimum. The Bardal factors (age, length of service, position, availability of similar work) typically result in roughly 1 month per year of service, more for older or senior employees.
