A professional community spanning two municipalities
Thornhill sits across the Vaughan and Markham border, home to a large number of professionals, business owners, and executives, many commuting to Toronto or working for employers along the Highway 7 corridor. Compensation for Thornhill professionals often extends beyond base salary into bonuses, commissions, or equity, each of which can affect what's owed when employment ends.
Severance for professionals and executives
When a Thornhill professional or executive is let go, the severance conversation usually needs to go beyond salary alone. Bonus structures, commission plans, and any restrictive covenants in the employment agreement should be reviewed together, since they affect what a fair severance package actually looks like.
