The basic answer is that you must provide whatever benefits to which the employee is entitled under either employment standards laws (if he’s non-union), the collective agreement (if he’s union) or the employment contract, depending on whether termination is with or without cause.
Basic questions:
- Which province are you in (or are you federally regulated)?
- Is the employee union or non-union (or management)?
- What are the reasons for separation–resignation, termination with cause, termination without cause?
- Are there any outside contracts or agreements covering termination of his employment
