Ontario Severance is live: find out what you're really owed
Losing your job is hard enough. Not knowing what you're owed makes it worse. Ontario Severance is now live, and it's free.
In a few minutes, see the minimum the law guarantees you, what Ontario courts have awarded people in situations like yours, and what to do next. No account, no fees.
See what you're really owed
Enter your age, years of service, salary and role. You get your legal minimum under Ontario's Employment Standards Act, plus an estimate of what courts award on top of it, based on real decisions you can open and read.
In the example above, the court-based estimate is more than double the legal minimum.
Ask anything about your job
Fired, laid off, demoted, pushed to resign, handed an offer with a deadline? Ask in plain words and get an answer grounded in Ontario law and court decisions. You can also attach your termination letter or contract for a plain-language breakdown.
See what judges actually decided
Describe your situation and find the closest Ontario court decisions: what happened, what the court decided, and what it awarded.
Don't sign anything yet
Handed a severance offer or a release? Check your numbers first. It's free, and it takes a few minutes.
Ontario Severance is independent and isn't a law firm. It gives general information, not legal advice. Want a lawyer's opinion? You can request a free initial consultation from any chat or calculator result.
