YES. Among G7 countries, the UK, Italy, Japan, France and Germany all provide government programs to protect workers whose employers go bankrupt. Only Canada and the US do not provide such a program. Q8. Will the WEPP cover severance and termination pay? NO. Levels of termination and severance pay vary by jurisdiction. Thus, covering termination and severance pay could lead to inter-provincial inequalities in pay-out levels. Workers can claim severance and termination through the bankruptcy process and using director liability provisions in labour and corporate laws (where such laws provide).
