$($THIS IS A MULTI$-$PART QUESTION $-$ THIS FACT PATTERN WILL COME UP AGAIN$)$

Marcus, a $72-$year$-$old machinist has worked at MachineCo. since January $1,2001,$ without a written employment contract. He makes $35\mathrm{.}00$$ per hour and works $35$ hours per week. On July $1,2021,$ he is informed he is being terminated without cause.

Machine Co does not want to give Marcus working notice under S$\mathrm{.}57$ of the ESA, and would rather pay in in lieu of such notice entirely. How much pay in lieu $($expressed as a number of DOLLARS, rounded to the whole number, before any applicable decustions$)$ is Marcus entitled to under S$\mathrm{.}61$ of the ESA, $($independently of any other entitlements$),$ if any?

Assume MachineCo.$\text{'}$s monthly payroll is $$3$ million and that Marcus was normally entitled to $4\%$ vacation pay
