Wise Law's Employment #LawFact of the Day: How to Resign the Right Way?


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.

Ontario Wills and Estates #LawFact of the Day: Claiming Dependent Support from an Estate


Family members who were financially dependent upon a deceased person may be entitled to claim support from the deceased’s Estate.

If the deceased's will doesn't provide for these obligations, the support recipient can apply in court to request the support they are owed.

Under Ontario Succession Law Reform Act, support may be claimed by a spouse, parent, child, or sibling of the deceased. A court will decide on entitlement, amount and duration of the support.
