Add Comment Question: I am on a stress leave from work in Ontario and have been terminated. I have worked for this company for over 2 years and have never been written up... The reasons they are using date back more than 6 months ago and most of them pertain to me doing my job... Can they do this? Answer: Hello, My name is Andrew Goldberg, and I am an employment lawyer at Samfiru Tumarkin LLP. As the company terminated your employment while you were on a medical leave of absence, this is almost certainly a violation of the Ontario Human Rights Code. Therefore, not only are you entitled to severance, but likely human rights damages as well. Please call me at 416-216-2839 or email me at andrew.goldberg@stlawyers.ca to discuss your matter further. Thanks Andrew Your Comment * Your Email * Your Name * Your City Note, your name, city and email is not displayed on the website. It is used to notify you that we have approved your comment.
