Severance Pay

If the termination is for a company-related reason (e.g. downsizing), then the severance pay will equal the employee's average monthly salary. If the termination is employee-related (e.g. long-term disability) then their length of service determines the amount:

  • Under 12 months – 10x average daily salary
  • Between 1 and 5 years – 25x average daily salary

  • Between 10 and 15 years – 35x average daily salary
