Add Comment Question: Laid off and not returning hourly employee with just under 2 years experience. Not replacing her. What is she entitled to in severance pay? Answer: My name is David Vaughan and I am an employment lawyer with Samfiru Tumarkin. Assuming that your business is provincially regulated, this employee is entitled to at least 2 weeks' termination pay pursuant to the Employment Standards Act, 2000. However, the employee may have additional entitlements under the common law, which your business could be liable for.
