===Losing your job===
If you work for an employer for three months or less, they can let you go without giving you notice or extra pay. If you work more than three months, the employer must give you notice in writing before your job ends or must pay you ''compensation''. The Under the ''Employment Standards Act'', there’s a minimum amount of notice (or compensation depends pay) your employer must give you, depending on how long you worked for you’ve been in the employer but is usually no job. You may be entitled to more than eight weeksthe minimum, because the notice you get must be “reasonable.” Whether you are entitled to the minimum or a larger amount will also depend on your employment contract.
:'''For example:''' Chui worked in a large store for four months. After Christmas, her employer said, "Today is your last day." She gave Chui one week’s extra pay.
Sometimes an employer does not have enough work for the employees their workers or does not have money to pay the bills. The employer might lay off the employees workers for a few weeks.
A ''layoff'' is usually temporary. The employer doesn’t have to tell you ahead of time. If the layoff lasts longer than 13 weeks in a 20-week period, it means your employment has ended.
If the layoff is permanent and your employment has ended, the employer must give you compensation.
