Ask your question and an employment lawyer in Ontario, BC or Alberta will answer in minutes
Hello. I am an Ontario resident working for a company based out of Québec and my local office is in Québec. I was looking at your severance pay calculator online which specifically mentions that it applies to Ontario and BC only. Since my employer is located in QC, I assume that QC provincial laws would apply. I am proactively preparing for a potential situation and was wondering if the expected outcome of severance from my situation would be significantly different from a situation in ON or BC or would they be in the same range. I understand this in not a black and white situation, but wondering about if there would be significant or minor differences expected...ROM?
Generally speaking, if you are employed in Ontario, your entitlements are subject to Ontario law. However, if you are working in the Quebec local office, very likely you are subject to Quebec law.
