What is reasonable notice for the purpose of terminating the employment of a domestic servant?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Menard v. The Centre for International Governance Innovation, 2019 ONSC 858 (CanLII):
One always starts with the well-known formula set out by McRuer C.J.H.C. in Bardal v. Globe & Mail Ltd. (1960), 1960 CanLII 294 (ON SC), 24 D.L.R (2d) 140 (Ont. H.C.J.): 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.
