Ensuring you receive full, fair compensation and strategic counsel when navigating job loss across Canada.
Navigating Employment Termination
Being dismissed from your job can be overwhelming. Across Canada, employment law provides significant protections to ensure employees receive fair notice or pay in lieu of notice upon termination without cause.
Many employees incorrectly assume that standard statutory minimums under applicable employment standards legislation represent the full extent of their severance entitlement. In reality, common law notice periods are often significantly greater.
Key Factors Impacting Your Severance Package

- Age & Role Seniority: Executive or management roles typically receive higher packages.
- Availability of Similar Employment: Current economic and industry realities.
- Bonus & Compensation Structure: Inclusion of commissions, stock options, and health benefits.
