An employee is obligated to give reasonable notice of intention to resign from his or her position of employment.
The amount of notice to be given will depend on a number of factors including any provision in an employment agreement that sets out the amount of notice of resignation that is required.
Where there is no employment agreement that provides for resignation by employee, these factors will apply:
- The nature of the Employee's position, experience and skill-set.
- Length of service with the employer.
- Nature of the industry.
- The time it would reasonably take the employer to find a proper replacement.
