Employee's Ultimatum to Quit Treated as Resignation
In Kerr v. 2463103 Nova Scotia Ltd. the Nova Scotia Supreme Court
found that the plaintiff, Kerr, did indeed resign when he offered his
employer an ultimatum of either receiving a pay increase or he would
leave for another job offer. The employer indicated that if his job
performance improved he would receive a pay increase. The employer
waited 3 weeks. During that time Mr. Kerr did not retract his
ultimatum, nor did he make any changes to improve his performance.
After 3 weeks, the employer accepted his resignation and Mr. Kerr
brought forward a motion of wrongful dismissal.
"The
application was dismissed. Kerr's threat to resign was made in clear
and unambiguous terms. A reasonable person would have understood that
Kerr was serious in his intention to resign and take up another job
opportunity that would pay more if he was not given the demanded raise.
Therefore, Kerr quit and was not terminated." via HR Connected:
