Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Sanghvi v. Norvic Shipping North America, 2020 ONSC 8068 (CanLII):
Parties to an employment contract can agree that the employer is not obliged to pay the employee’s bonus entitlement on termination. To do so, however, the bonus plan or the employment contract must be clear and unambiguous: see Andros v. Colliers, at para. 52.
