Add Comment Question: Is there a termination pay for a frustrated contract, where the employee goes for surgery, things get complicated and after 2 years the doctor says he can't come back to work? Answer: If the company decides to terminate the employment relationship, it does have to pay the employee his/her minimum termination entitlements under the Employment Standards Act. That said, the employer does not have to terminate and if it doesn't terminate, no severance is owed. Please call me to discuss.
