A recent decision by the Ontario Superior Court of Justice made it clear that the enforceability of termination clauses depends on their wording. Any termination clause that violates the Employment Standards Act will be deemed invalid. This means your employment contracts may no longer protect you from litigation.
Employers are advised to review their contracts and termination provisions to ensure they do not breach the ESA. If your contracts are found in violation of the law, the employees you terminate may be entitled to notice or pay in lieu at common law – which would mean higher costs for you.
And this ruling could potentially affect employers across Canada. So, where do you start? How do you ensure your employment contracts and termination clauses are rock-solid? What should you put in a contract to make it legally valid?
