Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Murdock v. 497123 Ontario Ltd., 2005 CanLII 8693 (ON SC):
The relevant factors to consider when assessing the appropriate notice period to which an employee is entitled are those found in Bardal v. Globe & Mail Ltd. (1960), 1960 CanLII 294 (ON SC), 24 D.L.R. (2d) 140 (Ont. H.C.J.) as follows (at p. 145): There can be no catalogue laid down as to what is reasonable notice in particular classes of cases. The reasonableness of the notice must be decided with reference to each particular case, having regard to the character of the employment, the length of service of the servant, the age of the servant and the availability of similar employment, having regard to the experience, training and qualifications of the servant.
