Add Comment Question: Our payroll is less than one million $. We need to eliminate an employee's position. She has been with us for 18 years. If we issue an 8-week notice period, during which we pay her regular monthly salary, and her health benefits, and pay out vacation pay at the end of the 8 weeks, is she in a legal position to sue us for more? Answer: Yes she would certainly be able to sue you. The size of your payroll does not matter in this specific situation. You could easily owe her 1 year's notice or pay in lieu of notice (or more). I highly recommend that you call me to discuss the best way to deal with this.
