Employment Standards
When a job in Ontario ends without cause, the Employment Standards Act sets a floor for the notice or pay you're owed. This tool covers that statutory minimum — the part that's fixed in law.
Ontario's ESA gives most employees one week of notice (or pay in lieu) per completed year of service, up to a maximum of eight weeks. That's the statutory floor, and it's the number the calculator here works out. It's separate from common-law reasonable notice, which can be much larger and depends on a court's read of your situation — that's a question for an employment lawyer, not a calculator.
