Generally speaking, a dismissed employee has an obligation to take reasonable steps to find, and accept, new comparable employment. Whether it is reasonable to accept new employment will always be a contextual assessment taking into consideration: whether the work is within the individual’s skillset; whether the role is at a similar level of seniority (i.e., Director, Vice-President etc.); whether the compensation is approximately the same; and whether the job is within a reasonable distance from where the individual lives. On this last point, it is generally acknowledged by the courts that it is not reasonable to expect an individual to move cities to accept a new job.
