Summary:
The word "severance" in subparagraph 57(3)(h) which reads "cessation définitive" in French does not include an indefinite layoff. The subsequent amendment replacing severance by "layoff or separation" and deleting "définitive" in the French text is a change of legislative intent, not a clarification.

Summary:
Vacation pay allocated to a laid off employee at the time active employees were paid just prior to the vacation shutdown, was not paid "in respect of his severance" under 57(3)(h) in the sense of "in consequence of" or in the sense of severance being the cause of the payment.
