Global employee termination law: Canada
Are employers required to give notice of termination?
The Canada Labour Code provides that employers must provide at least two weeks’ notice or pay in lieu of notice to employees with more than three months of employment, unless the employer has just cause. Severance pay is also required for employees with more than one year of service. Severance pay is calculated on the basis of two days’ pay per year of service, with a minimum of five days’ pay. In addition, common law principles apply. Employees may be entitled, at common law, to reasonable notice or compensation in lieu of notice which may significantly exceed their minimum statutory entitlements.
