Scenario 13.2 Woodbridge Group Inc. (WG), a Canadian Consultancy Firm, Is Having

Scenario 13.2
Woodbridge Group Inc. (WG) , a Canadian consultancy firm, is having a hard time keeping all its employees as a result of the last recession. Most of its clients are based in the United States, and tighter restrictions there have led to some clients severing business ties with WG. With the loss of business, the company claims it cannot afford to continue paying employees even though the company is still profitable. Management is planning to let some of them go, and plans to give them four weeks' pay in lieu of notice. While these employees are not unionized, they do have contracts that entitle them to fixed numbers of weeks worked for each year they have been with WG.
-Refer to Scenario 13.2. If WG terminates the contracts as planned and employees sue for wrongful dismissal, which of the following does NOT play a role in the judge's decision to award reasonable notice?

A) the employee's age and availability of similar employment given the employee's experience and training
B) the employer's ability to pay
C) the nature of the job performed by the employee
D) the length of service with the employer
