    Claiming damages for resignation

    A common complaint voiced by local business owners is that they can be penalised for firing employees but have no recourse should an employee resign prematurely. I thought TFSA users might be interested to learn of a recent Supreme Court of Appeal case where the Air Traffic and Navigation Services Company successfully sued a former employee for ~R500K due to premature resignation and breach of employment contract. The key was proper contract structuring.
