Severance Pay Calculator
The Severance Pay Calculator is an app created by Canadian employment law firm Samfiru Tumarkin LLP that provides employees and employers in Ontario and British Columbia with a range of severance pay (also known as termination pay) that might be owed to a terminated worker. The app incorporates factors that are recognized by common law, including the user's age, length of employment, job position, salary and amount of severance already offered (if any). Rulings from Canadian court cases are also factored in.
The Severance Pay Calculator was launched November 2013 by employment lawyer Lior Samfiru. In an interview with the Globe and Mail, Samfiru stated that he came up with the idea after the firm sued the Ontario Ministry of Labour on behalf of two manufacturing workers who relied on incomplete information about severance pay from a government help line.[1][2]
