A former TD Insurance executive is suing the bank after being terminated following a dispute over a Christian message she added to her email signature.

She alleges that her dismissal was discriminatory and connected to her creed. TD denies that religion played any role and says she was terminated for repeatedly refusing to comply with its email-signature standards. None of the allegations have been proven in court.

The case raises some interesting employment-law questions:
• When does workplace policy intersect with religious expression?
• Does allowing some personal identifiers mean employers should permit others?
• And when can repeated non-compliance with policy amount to just cause?

What do you think? Should employers be able to require completely standardized email signatures, or should employees have more room for personal or religious expression?

Minken Employment Lawyers (Est. 1990) advises employers and employees on workplace policies, human rights, religious accommodation, discipline, just cause, and wrongful dismissal.

What happens to RSUs when employment ends?

In Wigdor v. Facebook Canada Ltd., 2026 ONCA 572, the Ontario Court of Appeal confirmed that RSU entitlements may form part of an employee’s terms and conditions of employment and can be protected during the statutory notice period.

The Court also confirmed that pay in lieu of notice must produce the same result as working notice under the ESA, and that generic saving language may not be enough to preserve enforceability.

Importantly, the Court did not decide that all RSUs are “wages” under the ESA.

For employers and employees alike, the message is clear: equity compensation should be reviewed carefully when drafting agreements or assessing a termination package.
