CIBC had to pay a woman with 5.5 years of service 12 monthsโ pay in lieu of notice as severance, plus $100,000 for her annual bonus.
When I worked in corporate, I always looked to get laid off or fired. Always.
In Ontario, Canada, severance and notice periods under common law can amount to tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars. It doesnโt matter how long you were employed, and it doesnโt matter how large the employer is.
I once helped a senior coworker with 30 years of tenure secure over $350,000 instead of a fake gold watch for their retirement.
If I was a non-union employee with a lot of tenure, I would never voluntarily quit, resign, change jobs, retire, stop coming in to work, or otherwise decide to leave on my own.
Not only would I forfeit a potentially large severance package, but I might also disqualify myself from Employment Insurance benefits.
Corporations are neither ethical nor moral when they cheat employees and try to avoid paying what they owe under common law.
If I wanted to force a corporation to pay me severance, I had five different methods that always worked.
The easiest (but most expensive) method is to use an employment lawyer. But what if I donโt have money for a lawyer? No problem - Canada has me covered.
I would visit the Law Society of Upper Canada website and use their Lawyer Referral Service (LRS) to find an employment lawyer who would give me a free 30-minute consultation.
Ignore anyone who quotes the Employment Standards Act (ESA) unless they are an employment lawyer. They are wrong 100% of the time. Talk to an employment lawyer.
The corporation will try to get you to sign away your rights and accept less, so make sure you sign nothing. Just take whatever document HR gives you and show it to your employment lawyer so they can deal with it.
The win rate is so high that employment lawyers always took my cases on contingency. That means they donโt get paid unless they win. But when they win, they take a third of the winnings.
Too high? Remember, you donโt have money upfront anyway. If I could afford to pay, of course it would be cheaper to do so. Itโs a good deal either way.
I preferred to be consistently insubordinate and to retain the services of an employment lawyer. That worked every time for me.
If I was a non-union employee with a lot of tenure, I would never quit, resign, retire, take a new job, or stop coming to work. I want what is legally owed to me under common law.
Donโt be the employee who leaves with nothing because they didnโt consult an employment lawyer.
This is education, not advice. Consult your own employment lawyer.
