Canadian Lawyer – Toronto firm launches Severance Calculator app
A Toronto law firm is aiming to give dismissed employees a quick peek at their potential severance entitlement through a new iPhone application it’s billing as the first of its kind in Canada.
The Severance Pay Calculator, from Toronto law firm Samfiru Tumarkin LLP, aims to help both employers and employees. Companies will be able to get a quick idea of how much they might have to pay a laid-off worker. Employees can use it find out how much they might get as severance payment after answering a few questions such as age, position, and years worked.
The firm says the Severance Pay Calculator is suitable for use across Canada.
“There’s no service like this,” says Lior Samfiru, a co-founding member of Samfiru Tumarkin.
