Permanent Plant Closure. Severance Pay

Permanent Plant Closure. Severance Pay Sub-Section a) Section "a" outlines the Company's obligation to provide employees affected by a permanent plant closure with sixty (60) days notice of such a closure. Part 8 of the Employment Standards Act (Termination of Employment) should be reviewed in the event a company is planning a permanent plant closure. Given substance of the collective agreement, it is the position of CONIFER that section 63 of the Employment Standards Act does not apply. Regarding group terminations, as is inherently the case with permanent plant closures, Section 64 of the Act does apply. The corresponding notice requirement varies with the number of employees affected. The pivotal point of “termination” at which Section 64 becomes applicable is the point at which 50 or more employees lose their seniority retention within a specified two-month period. In the event of a permanent plant closure, employers also need to be cognizant of their obligations under Section 54, "Adjustment Plan" of the Labour Relations Code of British Columbia. Sub-Section 1 of Part 54 states: "If an employer introduces or intends to introduce a measure, policy or change that affects the terms, conditions or security of employment of a significant number of employees to whom a collective agreement applies,
a. the employer must give to the trade union that is party to the collective agreement at least 60 days notice before the date on which the measure, policy, practice or change is to be effected, and
b. after notice has been given, the employer and the trade union must meet, in good faith, and endeavor to develop and adjustment plan, which may include provisions respecting any of the following:
i. consideration of alternatives to the proposed measure, policy, practice or change including amendment of provisions in the collective agreement
ii. human resource planning and employee counseling and retraining;
iii. notice of termination;
iv. severance pay;
v. entitlement to pension and other benefits including early retirement benefits;
vi. a bipartite process for overseeing the implementation of the adjustment plan 2018-2020 marked a period involving substantial litigation at the BC LRB regarding the meaning of and obligations under section 54. The focal case originated in the context of the plant closure of Tolko, Quest Wood Division. This is a complicated legal issue with complexity beyond the scope of this Manual. Companies contemplating curtailment or closure are advised to seek legal advi...
