Without a written employment agreement, are you entitled to common law severance?

You are entitled to common law severance if you are terminated without cause, even if you do not have a written employment agreement.

All employees are entitled to common law severance, unless there is an enforceable clause in their employment contract that stipulates that they are not entitled to common law notice.

Common law severance is calculated with reference to factors including age, the character of employment, length of service, and availability of similar employment.
