Add Comment Question: I fired my nanny due to poor work standards and care. My contract states that minimum notice period is 4 weeks. Does the contract apply in this case? Answer: Thank you for reaching out to our firm. Though we would have to review the contract in order to be able to provide a full opinion, based upon what you have indicated it is likely that the notice provision in the contract is not enforceable. If that provision is not enforceable, then you may have to provide more notice; however that is not necessarily the case. We would be happy to review the contract and the circumstances surrounding the termination with you. If you would like to set-up a consultation, please send me an e-mail directly at kyle.shimon@stlawyers.ca and we schedule a time to discuss.
