Employers and HR might be concerned — but not necessarily surprised — to hear that yet another employment agreement has been nixed by the courts after the wording in the termination clause was found lacking.
But two employment lawyers speaking to Canadian HR Reporter say all is not lost when it comes to drafting these agreements – it’s just a matter of being really careful.
“I don’t know that [this latest decision provides] more clarity or more confusion, it’s just reinforcing the notion that every little thing matters. And you can’t take anything for granted as an employer,” says Kelsey Orth, a partner at CCPartners in Brampton, Ont.
