How much notice or severance pay should I get in BC?
The amount of notice or severance pay depends on the Employment Standards Act and common law. Under the Act, you’re entitled to between 1 and 8 weeks of notice depending on your years of service. However, courts often award more under wrongful dismissal law. Your exact entitlement may vary, so legal advice is recommended. See People’s Law School article (opens in a new tab).
