Termination clauses: (Yet) another one bites the dust

I advise employers and employees and therefore regularly draft and review termination clauses.

So employment lawyers like me pay close attention to what the courts are saying on this issue.

In a recent decision, Ontario’s Divisional Court reminds us of the importance of proper termination clauses in fixed term contracts. In Ferguson v. Mitsche & Aziz Inc., the Divisional Court upheld a Small Claims judgment awarding the maximum $25,0000.00 limit in damages to an employee who was dismissed five months into her one-year fixed term contract.
