Severance Pay Calculator in Ontario

If you go to most law firm websites, they take you to a generic severance pay calculator. They tend to give you an inaccurate picture of what you are really owed. Here, I will be personally going through your specific situation and give you an accurate assessment. In Ontario, the calculation of termination pay you should receive is determined by examining common law and the ESA.

At Agha Law, we calculate your entitlements and evaluate the fairness of your termination package.

Full Severance Pay (Common Law)

In Ontario, your complete termination pay is decided by our court system, known as common law severance. Judges base this on various past court cases. The key case shaping severance calculations in Canada is Bardal v. Globe & Mail Ltd. from 1960.

The factors in Bardal that Ontario employment lawyers rely on to calculate severance include an employee’s:

  1. Age; Salary; Position; Years of Service; Experience, Training, Qualifications;
  2. Availability of similar employment, having regard to the experience, training and qualifications of the employee; and
  3. Any other special circumstances that affect your ability to find a comparable job.
