What is a reasonable notice period for an employee?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Fewer v. Toromont Industries Limited, 2009 CanLII 42592 (ON SC):
In determining a reasonable notice period, I must start with Bardal v. The Globe and Mail Ltd.[6]. That frequently cited decision remains the gold standard of the basic principles to be applied in identifying the length of reasonable notice. I accept that it is to be determined on a case-by-case basis with consideration of four factors: (a) Age of employee. (b) Length of service. (c) Character of employment. (d) Availability of other similar employment.
