Severance in Canada has two layers, and this calculator shows both. The first is the statutory minimum under the Ontario Employment Standards Act, 2000: a fixed number of weeks of notice or pay in lieu, set by your length of service. It is the least your employer can legally give you, and it is often what the first offer is based on. The second is common-law reasonable notice, which is what a court would usually award a non-unionized employee without a valid termination clause. Courts set it from the Bardal factors: the character of your job, your length of service, your age, and how hard it will be to find similar work. The common-law figure includes the statutory amount rather than adding to it, and it rarely goes above 24 months.
General information about Ontario employment law, not legal advice, and the estimate is not a guarantee of any outcome. Unionized employees, dismissals for just cause, fixed-term contracts and valid termination clauses can change the answer. An employment lawyer can tell you how these rules apply to you.
