It’s really disappointing that the government only documents the minimum’s for termination/severands pay which are no where near what a middle-management worker should get. Union workers have unions to protect them, but it seems managers better consult a lawyer or they’ll get robbed. Really some standards should be published by the government, it’s shouldn’t be a secret that you need to consult a lawyer just to find out whether your termination offfer is fair!

Glen- your WSIB rep would be a good place to start since they have probably encountered similar situations and can give you some context of what other people received could refer you to a resource. Good luck.

Went on WSIB it isgoing on two years, and have been excepted until 65 years old. work related repetitive work caused hand problems.. So now coming up and time for my severance and is saying only intitled to 1 week for every year worked up to 26 weeks.
They did allow me my benefits for 2 years, so this is why I had to wait. and see if WSIB had any resources. which had my grade 12 and being of age and jobs losses all around us, has given me a letter stating have been permanently disabled to find job.
I believe I am entitle to more being they said there was no job for me to do there, and this is why WSIB has them paying 10 % of this claim, now excepted my claim until 65 and I am only 55 …
Worked for this company for 18 years..
What can I do to get more severance? thanks Glen
