Ask your question about terminations, dismissals and lay offs and an employment lawyer in Ontario, BC or Alberta will answer in minutes
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?
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.
