Add Comment Question: I'm a construction worker for 14 years do I get severance pay or a notice Answer: While construction workers are not necessarily entitled to severance pay/termination pay under the Employment Standards Act, 2000, you are still entitled to termination pay in accordance with the common law. Based on your years of service, this will likely be at least 12 months (depending on your age). Please contact our firm to discuss this matter further.
