In recent years, Ontario courts have frequently ruled on
employers termination obligations under the
Ontario
Employment Standards Act, 2000. However,
Ontario courts do not often adjudicate matters related to the
enforceability of termination clauses under the
Canada
Labour Code, RSC 1985, c L-2
(
CLC ). In
Sager v
TFI International Inc.
1, the Ontario Superior Court
of Justice considered a federal employer s obligations when
terminating an employee under the
CLC and
confirmed that any termination provisions agreed upon in an
employment agreement must maintain all terms and conditions of the
employment during the notice period.
