I am 63 years old with 20 Years service at my Company which is about to undergo a significant downsizing. My question is a hypothetical one - would my severance entitlement be any different if I was 66 years old with 20 years service i.e. does being over 65 have any bearing on settlement entitlement? Thank you very much.
Generally speaking, our courts recognize that it becomes more difficult to find other work the older you are, which may impact your common law severance entitlements. However, there is likely not much of a difference between 65 and 66 years old
