I have been at my company for 26 years. If my employer gives me the required notice of termination, for instance 8 weeks, does that mean they do not have to pay me any severance pay?

Thank you for your question. As a 26-year employee, you are almost certainly owed more than 8 weeks of notice or pay in lieu of notice. Your severance is likely based on your age position and years of service. Feel free to use our Ontario Severance Pay Calculator (www.severancepaycalculator.com) to find out how much you are likely owed, and give us a call at the number below if you'd like to discuss your situation in more detail. We would be happy to assist in any way we can.
