Add Comment Question: Can you terminate an employee who is onn medical leave Answer: Thank you for your question. While an employer can terminate an employee on medical leave, if that happens the employee would be entitled to significant human rights damages in addition to severance. I would encourage you to visit the severance pay calculator our firm has developed to see what the employee would be owed (www.SeverancePayCalculator.com). If you have been terminated or have questions about dismissal of an employee on medical leave, I would encourage you to call us right away and set up a consultation with one of our employment lawyers.
