Overview
The Ontario Court of Appeal’s recent decision in Baker v. Van Dolder’s Home Team Inc. and Li v. Wayfair Canada ULC, successfully argued by Hicks Morley, provides significant guidance on the enforceability of employment contract termination provisions.
In this complimentary 1-hour webinar, we will examine the Court’s findings on “at any time” and “for any reason” termination language, the role of Employment Standards Act compliance language in employment agreements, and the enforceability of with-cause provisions that preserve statutory minimum entitlements. We will also discuss the broader impact of the decision on contract drafting, litigation strategy, and managing termination risk in Ontario workplaces.
