After weeks of speculation, Air Canada has confirmed it’s cutting about 400 management jobs across Canada — roughly one percent of its workforce. This follows a nationwide flight attendant strike that cost the airline an estimated $375 million. The layoffs mainly impact non-unionized management and office staff.

If you’ve been let go, don't accept the first offer you receive. You are often entitled to much more severance pay than what’s initially offered — in some cases, up to 24 months’ pay under Canadian law.

A fair package should include base salary, bonuses, benefits continuation, unpaid overtime, and pension contributions. Before you sign anything, have an employment lawyer review your offer to make sure you haven’t been wrongfully dismissed.

Lior Samfiru and the team at EmploymentLawyer.ca have recovered millions in compensation for more than 50,000 Canadians, helping employees secure FAIR severance from major employers — including Canada’s largest airlines.

You only get one chance to sign — make sure it’s the right one.
