        This comes from our payroll expert, Alan McEwan, and assumes you’re subject to Ontario ESA rather than federal Canada Labour Code regulation:
        No, the employer can’t impose a requirement for greater notice than 2 weeks.
        Also, note that the minimum 2 weeks notice does not apply in all circumstances.
        For example, if a birth is early or if an adoption suddenly becomes available, an employee may give notice after the fact of starting a leave.
