Ontario Labour Laws and Resigning: I want to quit my current job during my probation do I need to give 2 weeks notice ?
Good evening to everyone.
I would like to have your advise/view on my current situation about the quitting my current job - I work at a very small company of about 5 people and the owner's role is pretty much everything - he is the HR, Payroll, Assignment of work and so on as he owns the company..
I am planning to quit this job and I have been working here for just over one month. In the signed job contract - its mentioned like - "Its agreed that the first 3 months of your employment will be probationary period". Should either party find the employment relationship unsatisfactory then relationship can be terminated anytime in accordance with termination provisions set out below"
C) Resignation: You may resign from your employment at any time upon giving the Company only two (2) weeks of advance written notice. In the event that you resign from your employment, you shall only receive payment of any unpaid earnings up to the end of the two (2) week resignation notice period; and payment of accrued vacation pay, if any, that shall have been earned by you prior to the end of the resignation notice period but not yet paid.
The Company may, in its sole discretion, may waive any and all of the notice of resignation that you provide and, in so doing, its only obligation shall be to provide you with outstanding wages and vacation pay up to and including your last active day of employment and any other entitlements required by the ESA, as amended from time to time.
**I don't want to work at this place even a single day because he has really made me to do this things that was never part of the job, no proper pay for the Over-Time, calls me on my cell phone at 10 PM to work and he says in Ontario even if you work on weekend but if its less than 44 hours you are Not entitled to receive overtime pay doesn't matter you work 10pm-3am on a Saturday night.
I called ESA helpline and they said you are legally obliged to give 2 weeks notice but if employer can terminate me anytime with or without cause during probation why cannot I quit with out notice during probation.
Please advise if I can quit the job without giving 2 notice period. The employer is based out of GTA region. Please help and share your advise.
Thank you.
