According to Ontario Employment Standards Act Severance pay “Severance pay” is compensation that is paid to a qualified employee who has their employment “severed.” It compensates an employee for losses (such as loss of seniority) that occur when a long-term employee loses their job.
When severance occurs A person's employment is “severed” when their employer:
- dismisses or stops employing the employee, including where an employee is no longer employed due to the bankruptcy or insolvency of their employer;
- “constructively” dismisses the employee and the employee resigns in response within a reasonable time;
- lays the employee off because all of the business at an establishment closes; or
- gives the employee written notice of termination and the employee resigns after giving two weeks' written notice, and the resignation takes effect during the statutory notice period.
