Termination Query
Ask the ExpertTermination Query
Conner Lantz asked 2 years ago
We have an employee who was verbally advised last week that there roll would be eliminated and that they will be terminated - the manager wanted to know how much time would be required for a transition end of June or end of July for last day worked.  This employee is a 20 year employee, 61 years of age and holds the most senior position in the company in Canada.  We have an employee agreement which is 4 weeks/year to a max of 78 - which is fine.  The question I have - as our merit process takes place on June 1st and the employee has not received notification in writing, just verbal discussion, the employee should typically have received their deserved merit, should the merit be applied as of June 1st even knowing we will end up terminating this employee or can we base the termination pay on their current rate?
