An employee with 9 years of service in Québec is entitled to 4 weeks working notice or 4 weeks legislated wages in lieu of notice.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Only 2 weeks
• D. Only 6 weeks

Answer: (A)

In Québec, the notice period for termination without cause is determined by years of service and can be given as working notice or as wages in lieu of notice. For an employee with nine years of service, the minimum period is four weeks. So the employee is entitled to four weeks of working notice, or four weeks of wages in lieu of notice, whichever the employer chooses. This reflects the statutory schedule that increases with tenure and provides protection for longer-serving employees. Remember, contracts or collective agreements can require more notice, but four weeks is the minimum for that length of service.
