Yes. An employer is permitted to provide an employee, by way of contract or otherwise, with a greater right or benefit than the applicable minimum employment standards for the relevant jurisdiction. Where this occurs, the contracted term will prevail over the applicable minimum standards.
If you are an employer looking to provide greater rights to your employees and would like assistance preparing and/or revising your employment agreements, or alternatively if you are an employee and your employer has breached your employment contract, including by providing less notice upon termination than contracted for, please contact Toronto employment lawyers, Sultan Lawyers, at (416) 214-5111 or via email to mlahert@sultanlawyers.com.
