An online tool estimates the compensation an employee in Ontario is entitled to upon termination of employment. These tools typically consider factors such as the employee’s age, length of service, and position within the company to arrive at an estimated amount. For instance, an individual with ten years of service and a senior management role would likely receive a significantly different estimate than someone with only one year of service in an entry-level position.
These estimators provide a valuable starting point for both employers and employees navigating employment termination. They offer a preliminary understanding of potential obligations and entitlements, which can facilitate more informed negotiations and minimize disputes. Historically, determining appropriate termination packages required extensive legal consultation; these tools democratize access to such information, at least on a preliminary basis.
