Scenario

Mackenzie has worked at LLMP Video Store in Newmarket, Ontario, full time for the past 10 years. With video rentals and sales down, management has decided to close the store. Mackenzie is terminated with 2 weeks' working notice, which was the notice period stipulated in the employment contract she signed when she was hired. Mackenzie does not believe this is enough time to find other employment, particularly as her last 2 weeks will be very busy while the store sells off its inventory. Given Mackenzie's skill set, she is also concerned about being able to find similar employment. She wonders whether she should quit and start looking for a job right away. Mackenzie consults with a friend, Nolan, who happens to work in HR.

1) Mackenzie asks Nolan whether she is entitled to more notice than what the store gave her. What should Nolan tell her?

a) She is not entitled to more than 2 weeks' notice.

b) She is entitled to 8 weeks' notice.

c) She is entitled to 10 weeks' notice.

2) Nolan informs Mackenzie that the courts would likely consider other factors when determining her notice period. What factors is Nolan likely referring to?

a) Mackenzie's ability to find alternative employment and her age.

b) The total number of employees the store terminated and Mackenzie's length of service.

c) Any relevant protected grounds under the Human Rights Code.

3) Mackenzie learns that LLMP Video Store is actually closing all its locations across Ontario and all 100 employees will be laid off. Mackenzie asks if this mass termination would affect her entitlement to notice. What should Nolan advise?

a) She will still receive only 2 weeks' notice.

b) She should receive 8 weeks' notice.

c) She should receive 12 weeks' notice.

4) Given the situation, Mackenzie asks about her entitlement to severance pay. What should Nolan tell her?

a) She is entitled to 10 weeks' severance pay.

b) She is not entitled to any severance pay since fewer than 200 employees are being laid off.

c) She could jeopardize her entitlement to severance pay if she resigns during her working notice.
