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. Older employees may also be subject to either express or indirect discrimination from their employer based on their age. 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
