    Hello, What options does the employer have regarding working written notice? Is it possible for the employer and employee agree to a working written notice in Ontario? This is a non-union environment, employee is a manager employed 3 years 9 months, 3 weeks\’ vacation. Can the employer legally offer 4 weeks\’ termination plus 6% vacation and have the employee work during this notice period?  The employer would encourage the employee to look for another job during the notice period. Please advise. Thank you. Mirella

    Yes, working notice is an option. We would caution you to also be upfront and clear with what the expectations are for that working term, as in what projects need to be completed and hand offs made. Your ability to discipline or enforce a diligent work ethic are seriously hampered when an employee is on notice – you can’t expect them to be giving 100% when they know they are going to be out of work in a very finite time.
