Manufacturing and professional services in Burlington
Burlington's economy combines a long-standing manufacturing base with a growing professional services and healthcare sector, and many residents commute to nearby Hamilton, Oakville, or Toronto employers. Whether your employer is based locally or elsewhere in the region, the same Employment Standards Act and common law protections apply to your employment.
What a fair severance package looks like
A severance package is often about more than a lump sum. Depending on your circumstances, it may need to account for salary continuation, benefits, bonus payments, and pension contributions, all of which should be reviewed together rather than accepted at face value. We regularly assist Burlington employees by reviewing severance offers, explaining their rights, and negotiating improved compensation before a release is signed.

Practical, Ontario-law guidance for employees and employers in Burlington.
Depending on your circumstances, it may involve salary continuation, benefits continuation, bonus payments, commissions, and pension contributions, not just a single lump sum.
In many cases, yes. Benefits continuation is often part of a proper severance package, and discontinuing benefits prematurely can itself be a problem with an employer's offer.
Yes. Where you work does not need to match where you live; we regularly advise Burlington residents who work in Hamilton, Oakville, Mississauga, or Toronto.
