severance rights

By Vey Willetts LLP | 3 Minutes Read July 15, 2022

Statute trumps sophistication when determining severance rights

In Ontario, employers are required to provide employees with reasonable advance notice of their dismissal (or payment in lieu thereof). This requirement applies unless the parties have agreed in writing for the employer to provide an alternate lawful entitlement. To qualify as an alternate lawful entitlement, the language must comply in all circumstances with the minimum requirements of the Employment Standards Act, 2000.
