The required notice or pay depends on the province, length of service, contract and facts. Final pay, vacation amounts, records of employment and payroll records may each have separate deadlines.

Review the agreement, current provincial standards, human-rights obligations and any protected leave. Get legal advice for high-risk circumstances.

Close the records

Calculate final wages and vacation, provide required documents, remove access respectfully and retain employment records securely.
