Every day Canadian employers face expensive, time-consuming litigation because former employees believe termination pay was miscalculated or legal obligations weren’t met. Offboarding Assistant proves your numbers and your compliance so you can proceed confidently.
Sign up below to get started.
When termination math or process isn’t crystal-clear, employees assume the worst—and disputes follow. In Canada, the vast majority of wrongful-dismissal cases never reach trial because employers settle, but getting to settlement still drains months of time and legal budget. Trials, when they happen, can take 12 months or more, and legal bills can reach into the tens of thousands of dollars, even before any additional payout. Courts are also increasingly awarding notice periods beyond the historical 24-month “cap,” pushing employer exposure higher.1
Small businesses don’t usually have in-house counsel, but they carry the same risk. Offboarding Assistant gives you law-aligned calculations, clear documentation, and employee-ready communications - without the legal scramble.
Statutory-correct calculations of termination pay (and severance pay where applicable) under the relevant ESA jurisdiction (we cover all 13 provinces and territories.)
Compliance checklist confirming key ESA obligations have been met (notice/termination pay, benefits continuance as required, timing of payment, records of employment, etc.)
Employer-ready communication pack—plain-language email/letter you can send to the employee explaining the numbers and entitlements.
What You Get
Conquering Canadian compliance
We’re also establishing Canada as an innovation centre. This is a homegrown product – made in Canada, for Canadian businesses, by Canadians.
Most businesses struggle with compliance.
We fix that.
If the employee can’t verify that termination pay, vacation, and any severance meet statutory minimums, suspicion can turn into an ESA claim or wrongful-dismissal action. Offboarding Assistant shows the work—so employees (and their counsel) can see that you met the law.
Audit-grade PDF that documents inputs, calculation steps, and final amounts, showing strict ESA adherence—ideal for sharing with counsel or an investigator.
Built-in sanity checks that flag common ESA pitfalls (e.g., vacation/public holiday pay interactions, record-keeping).
FAQ
Does this replace legal advice?
No. It systematizes ESA compliance and documentation so you can be confident you have met all statutory minimums as required by the relevant provincial employment standards act. It does not account for possible exceptions that are specific to your situation, or your legal obligations outside of ESA minimums.
What about common-law notice?
The Offboarding Assistant focuses on ESA minimums and documenting that you’ve met them. Common-law exposure varies; recent cases show courts can award beyond 24 months in the right circumstances. Use our PDF with your lawyer to assess any common-law risk.
How much can disputes cost?
Timelines commonly stretch past a year; legal fees alone can exceed $20,000, and many matters settle before trial anyway. Clear, shared-upfront numbers reduce that risk.
