Exclusive to Canadian HR Reporter from Rudner Law.
In HR law, there are some absolute rules, and then there are some points for which the rules are not all that clear.
One of these points involves resignation provisions that impose an obligation on the employee to pay the employer a certain amount if they resign during a prescribed time period. As a Taylor Swift fan, I refer to these provisions as “All You Had to Do Was Stay” clauses, after one of my favourite tracks from her 1989 album.
