My friend started working as a Recreation coordinator at a retirement home on a Maternity Leave cover (12 months contract) in August 2017. The woman she's covering for, decided not to come back so my friend was offered the job on a permanent basis. In June 2019 the company was sold and in Septmber 2019, my friend was let go without cause. She was given 2 weeks' termination pay and 2 additional weeks of pay. Does her first year when she was on a contract count towards her entitlement for severance?
