The Problem

Most people get this wrong.

Your employer just handed you a piece of paper. There's a number on it. They said it's your severance. They told you to sign by Friday.

Here's what they didn't tell you:

  • × Many Canadians accept the first severance offer without negotiating. Initial offers are often below what courts have awarded in comparable situations.
  • × The statutory minimum is a floor, not a ceiling. Common-law severance (what courts have awarded in past cases) is often higher than the ESA amount, especially for professionals in senior roles. A valid termination clause in your contract may affect this.
  • × Lump-sum severance over $15,000 has 30% withheld at source. There are tax strategies that may reduce this, but most people don't learn about them until after the cheque is cut. A CPA can help.
  • × Job searches can take several months. The decisions you make in the first few days, about finances, about your LinkedIn, about your network, set the foundation for what comes next.

The system is stacked against you. Not because your employer is evil. Because they have lawyers and HR professionals who've done this hundreds of times. This is your first time. The Layoff Survival Kit levels the playing field.
