It looks like you may be entitled to 2 weeks pay (if you don't get two weeks notice). See:
http://www.hrsdc.gc.ca/en/lp/spila/clli/eslc/18notice_of_individual_termination_of_employment.shtml
which says:
Minimum Written Notice Required (from the Employer)
Two weeks’ notice or two weeks’ wages in lieu, at regular rate for regular hours. (s. 230, ss. 31, 32 of the Regulation)
Severance Pay:
An employee who has completed 12 consecutive months of employment is entitled, in addition to notice of termination or pay in lieu of notice, to either two days' wages for each completed year of employment or to a total of five days’ wages (at the regular rate for regular hours), whichever is greater.
However, an employer is not required to provide severance pay to an employee who has been dismissed for just cause or who, on ceasing to be employed or before that time, is entitled to a pension under a registered pension plan contributed to by the employer, or to a pension under the Old Age Security Act, the Canada Pension Plan or the Quebec Pension Plan. (s. 235)

I've never heard of anyone getting severance after being fired.
That is usually reserved for lay-offs. |
