Severance pay laws in Vancouver
Severance pay in Vancouver can range from a minimum of a week’s pay, up to a maximum of 24 months’ pay. This applies to all non-unionized employee working in and around the city (and across British Columbia).
- Any severance offer must satisfy your minimum rights as a provincially or federally regulated worker.
- Your full severance package must all take into account many other factors, including your age, length of employment, position, bonus entitlements, benefits, ability to find new work and the terms of your employment contract.
The difference between what your employer offers you and what you are actually owed could amount to tens of thousands of dollars.
