I currently have a regular Mon-Friday Job and work part time retail on weekends. The business has just changed ownership and I think I could be let go as someone else recently was. Would I be entitled to severance pay even if I have a Mon-Fri job that pays twice as much?

In British Columbia, part-time employees have the same rights as full-time employees. If you are dismissed from your part-time job you would have an entitlement to severance pay. What that entitlement will be dependent on your contract. Please contact us at the number below to discuss your situation with one of our employment lawyers.
