Managing termination of employment in Canada is complex, especially for employers used to dealing with United States employment law, or for Canadian employers who have limited experience in the area.
Enforceable employment contracts are imperative for Canadian employers to control risk and manage the significant liability that employers can otherwise face, especially upon termination of employment.
All employers must at least meet the minimum standards in employment standards legislation.
