Add Comment Question: My friend is a dental hygienist and has signd a labour contract that in case of termination notice will be given according to the Ontario Labour Laws. She has worked there for 13 years and has now been terminated. Her boss offers her 8 weeks notice plus $4,000.00. She has 7 days to accept this offer or they will only pay the 8 week's notice. Is this a fair offer from the employer? I thought you could get 1 month formevery year worked. Also, she signed the employment contract on very short notice without legal consultation so that she would get the job. Answer: It is possible that employers can have termination provisions in employment contracts that restrict termination entitlements to the minimums stipulated by the Employment Standards Act. However, just because there is a termination provision in your employment contract does not necessarily mean it would be found enforceable by a court. Your friend should contact our office right away so she can schedule a consult with a lawyer to review the contract and the circumstances surrounding the execution of the contract in order to assess her actual termination entitlements.
