CHARITY & NFP LAW BULLETIN NO. 392
In Ozorio v Canadian Hearing Society (“Ozorio”), a managerial employee who was terminated on a without cause basis by her employer at age sixty after thirty years of service was awarded twenty-four months compensation in lieu of notice by the Ontario Superior Court of Justice. The Ozorio decision highlights and summarizes the pay in lieu of notice principles applicable for older employees with significant terms of service.
This Charity & NFP Law Bulletin will review the Ozorio decision and comment on how charities and not-for-profits, as employers, may limit liability exposure to terminated employees by the use of employment contracts.
