My company has lost its major client and I as well as hundreds of employees are being terminated. I have been with the company for7 years and am being offered 1 week per year. Is that the norm in Ontario or is their potential for more?

Thank you for your question.

From what you described, this very well could be a wrongful dismissal. Typically, someone in your circumstances would be owed much, much more than that. Depending on your employer, it may even be a breach of minimum standards legislation.
