Comments on: What To Expect in a Severance Package in Canada https://joblaw.ca/?p=1384 Fri, 09 Dec 2022 19:55:58 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.1.3 By: Ken Krupat https://joblaw.ca/?p=1384#comment-1243 Fri, 09 Dec 2022 19:55:58 +0000 http://gator4180.temp.domains/~leafcom1/joblaw/?p=488#comment-1243 In reply to Ilona.

That is incorrect. If he is still working and they let him go – he is entitled to severance regardless of his age.

The company might be downsizing or closing I’m not sure but he thinks it doesn’t matter if they let him go because he’s too old for severance. Is this true?

It might be. You still might be entitled to statutory minimum amounts but you could lose any common law severance if you find another position

If I find and accept a job while on my vacation (before the actual termination date) will my severance be forfeited?

If it is “voluntary” – he could choose to keep working. When and if they decide to fire him, he could then be owed two years’ pay. So it really depends on whether he would like to, effectively, retire now and take the money or wait until they actually let him go.

Really depends on what is any contract you signed, the type of position, how much you were earning, etc. It could be the range of 6 to 8 months’ severance, based on full annual earnings.

Ron – you generally don’t get any pay if you decide to resign or retire on your own accord. If you can prove that you were forced to resign or retire, you could be entitled to severance. But otherwise, you are not.

If they are affiliated companies you might be. If they go out of business or go bankrupt, it might be hard to collect.

If you can prove that you are owed the vacation pay (i.e. if you have a statement etc.,), you may be able to go ofter them at the Ontario Labour Relations Board to force them to pay you the money.

If you don’t agree to voluntarily “exit” – it could be 24 months’ severance or even more. As well, you may be able to argue that it is age discrimination – which could mean even more money.
