Has your employer given you a severance package? Before you accept an offer from the company, you should get a severance package review from an Ottawa severance pay lawyer at SAMFIRU TUMARKIN LLP.
Our severance pay lawyers in Ottawa will take a comprehensive look at the amount of severance pay your employer is offering you. Not only does the package need to meet minimum requirements, it must satisfy the FULL amount of compensation that you have a legal right to receive. You do not have to sign off on a termination letter or package until we examine its contents.
The team of Ottawa employment lawyers at Samfiru Tumarkin LLP have spent years helping tens of thousands of Canadians secure fair severance pay amounts after termination. Whether you are let go from your job for cause or without cause, you are likely owed severance.
In addition to covering minimum requirements under the province’s Employment Standards Act, or the Canada Labour Code for federally-regulated employees, the package must cover certain factors. We determine severance pay in Ontario by reviewing many details, including the following:
- Age;
- Position;
- Length of employment;
- Bonus entitlements;
- Benefits; and
- Terms of an employment contract.
The difference between what your employer offers you and what you are actually owed could be as much as 24 months’ pay. This type of severance pay applies to both provincially regulated and federally regulated employees.
