How Severance Pay is Calculated in Ontario, B.C., & Alberta

If you were let go from your job, your employer may owe you much more severance pay than they are offering.

In Ontario, B.C., and Alberta, government legislation provides minimum termination pay rules—but these minimums don’t reflect what most employees are actually owed.

Most non-unionized employees in Ontario are entitled to up to 24 months of severance pay, which is based on:

  • Age
  • Length of service
  • Job position
  • Availability to find new employment

Use our Severance Pay Calculator to find out exactly what you should receive before signing anything.
