Thanks for your help. Just to clarify, the first clause then is really somewhat useless, as they would then be working the entire term. And the second clause is still that way even though they have changed the amount of time someone can go on maternity/parental leave? Because of some overlap, our term position would most likely be for 14 months. So therefore the second clause does not apply to us?
is there a termination clause in their offer letter?
This contract may be terminated at any time in the following manner:
By you; on giving one (1) week notice to the Company, which the Company may waive in whole or in part.
By the Company; by giving you minimum notice or pay in lieu of notice required by applicable employment legislation
Hi Mike,
We do, however were told by legal counsel that it would not be enforceable for term employees, and that we would have to pay until the end of the term regardless of whether there was a clause in there like that. That if the individual persued litigation, common law would say we pay for the whole term.
