If you work for an employer for three months or less, they can let you go without giving you notice or extra pay. If you work more than three months, the employer must give you notice in writing before your job ends or must pay you ''compensation''.
Under the ''Employment Standards Act'', there’s a minimum amount of notice (or pay) your employer must give you, depending on how long you’ve been in the job. You may be entitled to more than the minimum, because the notice you get must be “reasonable.” Whether you are entitled to the minimum or a larger amount will also depend on your employment contract.
