SkyHive Layoffs: More than 30 employees cut, according to reports

SkyHive is allegedly laying off more than 30 staff, according to employees who have contacted Samfiru Tumarkin LLP.

The workforce management software company is based in Vancouver, and employs over 100 people across the country.

Termination agreements for SkyHive employees

In Canada, non-unionized employees at SkyHive are owed full severance pay when they lose their jobs due to downsizing, corporate restructuring, or economic difficulties.

This includes individuals working full-time, part-time, or hourly in Ontario, Alberta, and B.C.

People working “on contract” or as a contractor may also be owed severance pay — given that many employees in Canada are often misclassified as independent contractors.

Calculating Your Severance Pay

Your severance pay is calculated based on several factors. These include:

• Your length of service at the company
• Your age
• The position and your responsibilities
• Any bonuses or benefits you receive
• The ease or difficulty of finding new employment.

These factors contribute to determining the size of your severance package, which can be as much as 24 months’ pay. It’s essential to note that the specific amount can also vary based on the terms of your employment contract.

Don’t sign on the dotted line!

Do not accept any initial severance offer, termination papers, or exit agreement that your employer provides you with.

Once you sign back these documents, you eliminate your ability to negotiate your severance package.
