We are having to terminate a number of ongoing contracts to cut program costs. I have looked at the legislation but am still trying to establish the requirement for severance pay. We have two staff who have not completed their probationary period, two staff who have completed their probationary period but not their first year of employment and then two staff who have been with us for 2 or 3 years,

wondering if you can advise asap,

warm regards,
Jenny

Hi Jenny! Two questions before I can properly answer this – in which jurisdiction do your workplace and employees reside, and had you written into the probationary employees’ employment contracts that they would not be offered severance payment until they reached/passed probation?
