Wise Law’s Employment #LawFact of the Day: Common Law Entitlements Upon Termination #law #legal #wrongfuldismissal #termination
Do employees have different severance entitlements under the Employment Standards Act in wrongful dismissal cases that are decided in Court?
Ontario’s Employment Standards Act provides only for employees’ minimum notice and severance entitlements.
Unless an enforceable employment agreement provides otherwise, common law entitlements for non unionize employees can be as much as one month for each year of service.
You may be entitled to additional compensation.
