Ontario Severance Law
Under Ontario's Employment Standards Act (ESA), terminated employees are entitled
to 1 week of notice per year of service (minimum 1 week, maximum 8 weeks).
Beyond ESA minimums, common law reasonable notice — governed by the Bardal factors
(years of service, age, position, availability of similar employment) — typically
ranges from 1 to 24+ months. Most employers offer only the ESA minimum; DemandPay
helps employees recover the difference.
Ontario's Limitations Act, 2002 gives employees two years from their termination
date to commence a wrongful dismissal claim. Missing this deadline permanently
bars the claim.
Legal services provided through Rivét Legal Services Professional Corporation,
operating as Nuada Law (Ontario).
