Termination agreements for SkyHive employees
In Canada, non-unionized employees at SkyHive are owed full severance pay when they lose their jobs due to downsizing, corporate restructuring, or economic difficulties.
This includes individuals working full-time, part-time, or hourly in Ontario, Alberta, and B.C.
People working “on contract” or as a contractor may also be owed severance pay — given that many employees in Canada are often misclassified as independent contractors.
Calculating Your Severance Pay
Your severance pay is calculated based on several factors. These include:
- Your length of service at the company
- Your age
- The position and your responsibilities
- Any bonuses or benefits you receive
- The ease or difficulty of finding new employment.
These factors contribute to determining the size of your severance package, which can be as much as 24 months’ pay. It’s essential to note that the specific amount can also vary based on the terms of your employment contract.
