What is the range of notice awarded to a 50 year old sales manager?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Barrie v. Voith Canada Inc., 2004 BCSC 1728 (CanLII):
The defendant referred to Husband v. Labatt Brewing Co., [1998] B.C.J. No. 3193 (S.C.)(Q.L.), in which Brenner J. (as he then was) in an oral judgment at ¶17 noted that: Generally in "salesman" and "sales manager" cases the courts have consistently awarded notice in the range of 2.5 weeks per year of service even where the plaintiffs are in their 50s or 60s. The principle underlying this is the fact that the skills of sales employees are considered to be more readily transferable, thus enabling them to secure new employment with relative ease.
