Calculating severance? There’s an app for that
The law firm leading a lawsuit against Ontario’s Ministry of Labour hotline for allegedly not giving the complete story about employer obligations and employee entitlements on termination has launched an app that calculates severance pay.
The Severance Pay Calculator, designed for iPhone and iPad, calculates a severance amount based on a list of questions.
“Many employers and the majority of terminated employees have a very limited understanding of the way severance is calculated and how much should be paid,” said Lior Samfiru, partner, employment and labour law, Samfiru Tumarkin LLP in Toronto.
