About Severance Ontario

Severance Ontario helps Ontario workers estimate their minimum termination, severance and vacation pay under the Employment Standards Act, and understand when they may be owed more.

How we research

• Every rule, rate and figure is checked against primary sources: the Ontario Ministry of Labour's Your guide to the Employment Standards Act and the Act itself.
• Guides list their sources so you can verify them yourself.
• We review pages whenever the underlying rules change, and at least once a year. The "Updated" date on each page shows the last review.

Corrections

If you spot an error, tell us. We fix mistakes promptly and update the page date when we do.

How we're funded
