Add Comment Question: I'm being permanently laid off because my boss says I'm not medically fit for the job anymore. They want me to go on EI for medical reasons but don't intend to EVER call me back. Isn't this termination, and what are my options? Answer: A permanent layoff is a termination. If you've been terminated, then you're entitled to compensation. You may also have a human rights claim. Please give us a call to discuss.
