| Abstract: | In Canada, an employee dismissed without just cause can sue the employer for a severance payments in lieu of "reasonable notice". The factors that significantly affected the length of notice awarded in more than 100 British Columbia cases in 1980-86 are identified and a regression-based algorithm is developed to estimate reasonable notice. It is found that seven predictors account for 69 percent of the variance in reasonable notice awards. A test of the model with Canada-wide data shows it to be highly generalizable to other wrongful dismissal cases in Canada. |
