You are confused. "Severance pay" does not exist under BC labour code. Period.
There are 2 ways to fire a person: 1) For Cause and 2) With Notice
You told us you were fired with notice (the email). After being fired with notice, there are only 2 options:
Option 1) You are told in writing (ie an email) that you have 2 weeks left to work, you work for 2 weeks, you get paid for those 2 weeks, and then you are done.
Option 2) You are told do NOT come in, we will give you compensation instead of notice. You get paid for the 2 weeks that you would have otherwise worked.
From what I understood, the employer emailed you and said you have 2 weeks left to work, then you are fired. If that's the case, then you will work those 2 weeks, get paid for those 2 weeks, and that's the end of it. It makes 0 difference whether that was an email or not, that's notice.
