Consider giving two weeks' notice even if you've only been with your company for a few months. This allows time for your employer to get organized to replace your position. Give at least a two weeks' notice if you've been with your company for more than two years.

There is no legal requirement under the Employment Standards Act or similar legislation requiring an employee to provide a specific amount of notice before resigning but employees are encouraged to give reasonable notice, particularly if they hold a senior position or are responsible for critical projects or clients.

Unless there's an employment contract in force that states the amount of notice to be provided, Canadian common law requires that "reasonable notice" be offered by the employee when they resign. It's normal (but not a legal requirement) to give two weeks of notice.

If there's no stated period in the contract, the Canadian common law requires a ?reasonable notice?, which is usually two weeks. The employer may negotiate a longer notice, depending on the employee's position, length of service, pay, and time it would likely take to replace the employee.

Ontario: No. The only time an employee is required to provide a specific period of notice to their employers is when the employee has already received a notice of termination as part of a mass layoff.
