The Ontario Court of Appeal has ruled that a six-month unpaid layoff did not constitute wrongful dismissal. This decision affirms a prior ruling from a lower court. The court found that a temporary layoff clause within an employment contract was valid. This legal precedent impacts how temporary layoffs are viewed in the province. The worker's challenge to the clause was unsuccessful.
