Add Comment Question: If I'm terminated, how long do my work benefits continue from my employer Answer: Thank you for contacting our firm. How long benefits last after termination depends on whether you are limited to your minimum entitlements under employment standards legislation, or if you are entitled to common law reasonable notice. The presence of an employment contract with an enforceable termination provision will dictate which of the above applies. Assuming you are in the majority of workers and under the jurisdiction of the Ontario Employment Standards Act, if you are limited to your statutory entitlements then your benefits would continue up to a maximum of 8 weeks. The exact length they continue will depend on your years of service. If there is no employment contract, then your benefits should continue for the duration of your reasonable notice period. This period depends on a variety of factors, including age, position, and years of service, so without more information we cannot advise further.
