What is the common law notice period for an employee who is dismissed without cause?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Burton v. Aronovitch McCauley Rollo LLP, 2018 ONSC 3018 (CanLII):
At common law, an employee who is dismissed without cause is entitled to be provided with reasonable notice or payment in lieu of such notice. In determining the appropriate notice period, courts have considered the factors identified in Bardal v. Globe & Mail Ltd.,[8] including the nature of the employment, the length of employment, the employee’s age and the realistic possibility of finding similar employment appropriate to the experience, responsibility and qualifications of the employee.
