My employment offer has a termination clause - states maximum liability for wrongful dismissal, severance pay or payment in lieu shall be limited to payment as specified in the British Columbia Employment Standards Act. Does this limit ability for more than the minimum number of weeks, precluding the other factors like employability, age, position level.
Thank you for your question. A clause drafted in the way that you describe - considered alone - would limit your entitlements to the minimum under the ESA (precluding the factors you've listed). However, there are other factors in play that may render the clause unenforceable. As such, I would highly recommend that you contact us at the number below to speak with an employment lawyer regarding clause if you are ever terminated.
