Quizplus · Accepted Answer

If the amount of notice is set out in the employment contract, it would override the amount set by the common law unless it was less than the minimum amount set out in the Employment Standards Act. In a non-unionized business, Frieda's dismissal without just cause would be considered wrongful dismissal, and the amount of notice required would depend on factors such as length of service, age, and position. The court would not consider Frieda's sex or religion when determining the appropriate notice period. Additional notice would not have to be given if the employer pays Frieda an amount of money equivalent to the amount of money she would have earned during the notice period. Frieda cannot elect to have a notice period or take money in lieu of notice if her employer has already dismissed her without cause.
