HOW CAN WE HELP YOU
TERMINATIONS
Early retirement warning: Be wary of so-called ‘early retirement’ packages, as many employers offer these in an attempt to avoid their full severance obligations to their employees. More information
SEVERANCE PAY
B.C. employment standards STATE that:
Employers can end employment by:
Giving an employee written notice and/or payment based on how long they’ve been working
OR
Firing an employee for just cause – if an employer has just cause, they don’t have to give notice or pay
When an employer terminates in the first way, the payment is termed “severance pay”.

Many employers require employees to sign non-solicitation and non-competition clauses (otherwise known as restrictive covenants) either before starting work or sometime thereafter.
