Default: Ontario, Canada (ON)

Supported Jurisdictions:

• Canadian Provinces: ON, BC, AB, QC, MB, SK, NS, NB, NL, PE, NT, NU, YT

JURISDICTION-SPECIFIC TERMINATION ANALYSIS:
[Insert termination notice table for selected jurisdiction]

TERMINATION CLAUSE VALIDITY CHECK:

For Canadian Jurisdictions: Courts strictly scrutinize termination clauses. A clause may be VOID if it:

• Provides less than statutory minimums in ANY scenario
• Fails to reference employment standards legislation
• Uses ambiguous language ("will provide" vs "may provide")
• Attempts to contract out of severance pay (where applicable)
• Defines "cause" broader than statutory standard
• Fails to continue benefits through notice period
• Was presented after employment began without fresh consideration

If termination clause is void -> Employee entitled to common law reasonable notice (typically 1 month/year, up to 24 months based on Bardal factors)

For US Jurisdictions:

• At-will employment is default - employer can terminate for any legal reason
• Exceptions: implied contract, public policy violations, discrimination
• WARN Act: 60-day notice for mass layoffs (100+ employees)
• Some states have additional protections (Montana: just cause after probation)

Phase 2: Market Research & Compensation Analysis

• Bonus target percentages for similar positions
• Cost of living adjustments for location
