You're viewing part of a thread.
First, I'm in quebec not BC. I was just saying BC also get that too, and Alberta as well. I was just let go last week and we all spent time with our lawyers comparing our rights.
In Quebec (at the link I sent you), everyone is entitled to get their accrued vacation paid. Everyone is entitled to remain employed during those 16 weeks, and keep their benefits (be those stocks or other).
For any company,, if the company does not want to set you termination date in 16 weeks and keep you on the books, they can offer you to give all that up, be terminated in 2 weeks for an extra lump sum. 16 weeks + something, or stay on the books and get 16 weeks + benefits
In my case it equated to a lot (a year), which is the point is was making, if it wasn't so cheap in the US they might not do it. It would still be a lot for any other full time employee in Canada, at least proportional to their salary. Even without stocks it would have been plenty.
Edit: I forgot, but they also get 1 week per year of service, which I forgot to mention because I didn't benefit from that much.
CNESST =/= Canadian law
As per your link the indemnity is based on if you had your 16 weeks notice or not.
Vacation pay isn't a layoff indemnity, it's separate and something you're entitled to no matter the reason why you stop working for your employer.
Also the Quebec law link was added as an edit which is why I thought you were in BC (since you mentioned it).
Thanks for proving my point for me anyway.
As for why I'm so hellbent on proving you wrong? Because I'm tired of people not understand the levels of government and their powers and I think there's a whole lot wrong with our country that can be attributed to it.
Well if youre tired of it, learn how to read lol. In once sentence I say this is likely federally mandates for provinces to have laws like that because all my buddies have similar stuff in other provinces, and in another sentence I give you a link to my laws in quebec.
Then you somehow say I think CNESST is Canada. You're just inventing stuff to frustrate yourself.
In quebec, that same CNESST law gives me the vacation because it's a collective layoff. I would not otherwise be entitled to it, as you can see by what is offered if it was just a personal layoff.
No, I said CNESST =/= Canada, there's a slash in-between. It's Quebec's provincial labor commission, their rules only apply for people who work in Quebec, just because your buddies got treated similarly in other provinces doesn't mean they're protected by the same labor code and an employer can also offer more than the code.
Yes you're entitled to being paid the vacations you accrued no matter the reason why you stop working. If you leave you "get your 4%", that's your vacations.
No, there's no federally mandated minimums, labor laws are province specific except for certain sectors like banks which are under federal jurisdiction.

Well well well... Will you look at that, that's exactly what happened, it's 4 weeks in Alberta!
That literally what im saying. You just don't read too good.
I said "Im not saying CNESST and Canada are the same, as CNESST is provincial, youre confusing two sentences".
Then you reply to literally say I'm confusing those two things as one. Again not reading. Now you're just angry and it's hilarious. Go invent a fight somewhere else. I know the labor laws, for Canada and Quebec.
That's not what you started with, you mentioned you got your package because of Canadian law and I corrected you and you argued.
