Formula Used
The calculator uses the following formula to estimate wrongful dismissal compensation:
Compensation = (Annual Salary × Employment Length) + (Annual Salary × Notice Period ÷ 52)
Where:
- Annual Salary is your pre-tax annual salary in Canadian dollars.
- Employment Length is the number of years you worked for the employer.
- Notice Period is the length of notice you gave your employer in weeks.
This formula provides a rough estimate and does not account for all possible factors in a wrongful dismissal case.
Worked Examples
Example 1: Short Employment
For an employee with:
- Annual salary: $50,000
- Employment length: 1 year
- Notice period: 2 weeks
The calculation would be:
Compensation = ($50,000 × 1) + ($50,000 × 2 ÷ 52) = $50,000 + $1,923 = $51,923
Example 2: Long Employment
For an employee with:
- Annual salary: $80,000
- Employment length: 5 years
- Notice period: 4 weeks
The calculation would be:
Compensation = ($80,000 × 5) + ($80,000 × 4 ÷ 52) = $400,000 + $6,154 = $406,154
