After 10 years of working with a charity (whose head office is in Ontario but I live in BC), I was given 2 months notice

Hello and Welcome to JustAnswer. My name is***** will be working on your question today and I am looking forward to our conversation.

This question was removed from my list. I've just found it now. I am sorry.

Please note that I am working from my computer and not actually texting. If you don’t answer back for a while I may not be online when you do but I will never desert you and will check back often. As well, as I am working from home it is possible that I will be interrupted but I will always return back as soon as I can.

Finally, although the site offers a call option I personally do not take calls but just work online. Some find this confusing as it looks like the offer is coming from me but that is just how the site presents the offer and it really isn’t coming from me. Some of the other experts do take calls and so you are very welcome to request a call on this post and an expert may take it. They will have the benefit of reading our exchange which should work out very well for everyone involved!

I know your question is important to you and I will be giving it the time and attention it deserves.

I am sorry to hear of this difficult situation.

Your legal right is to receive reasonable notice or pay in lieu of notice.
Generally, in determining what is reasonable notice Courts look at several factors including the length of time you worked for the employer, your age, your position, the likelihood of finding new employment etc.
At the high end, if you were in a managerial position, the Court would likely order one month's notice or pay in lieu of notice for each year of employment.  If you were not in a managerial position the Court would order somewhat less.

Your best next step is to retain an employment lawyer.

Does that help?

The law is the same in both provinces in this area.

Great.

You are very welcome.
