What to know

Minimums and more

The Employment Standards Act, 2000 sets the minimum notice and severance in Ontario. Many employees are entitled to more under the common law, depending on age, length of service and the role.

Before you sign a release

Get advice before signing a severance package. Once a release is signed, it is usually too late to ask for more.

Deadlines

Most claims must be started within two years, and complaints under the Employment Standards Act and the Human Rights Code have their own time limits.

General information only, not legal advice. Laws, rates and deadlines change; speak with a lawyer about your situation. See our legal disclaimer.
