Aside from age, the number of years of service an employee has had with the employer, and in the field generally, also warrants a lengthy notice period upon dismissal, unless that employee is bound by an enforceable contract limiting their severance entitlements.

In law, there is a remedy available to employees discriminated against based on their age called “general damages.” This is in addition to damages for wrongful dismissal.Article content
