How is Severance Pay Calculated in Ontario and BC?

The Employment Standards Act (ESA) provides the minimum standards for termination pay and severance – in general, one week of severance pay for each year of employment. However, almost all non-union employees are entitled to significantly more severance pay than the minimum ESA requirement.

Ontario’s and BC's system of law, called the “common law”, has evolved over time through thousands of court and tribunal decisions. Under common law, the accurate calculation of severance entitlements depends on many factors, including the employee’s position.
