I run a construction company and I am considering closing it down this year. I have a couple of employees that have worked for me for a number of years. One employee, in particular, has worked for me for 13 years. He is laid off during the winter for several months. What time frame do I base his severance pay on? Is he a one year employee or a 13 year employee.
