Generally speaking, your employer absolutely cannot terminate you as a result of a medical condition or when you are only on leave for a few months. Due to how long you have been with the company for, your severance entitlements would be very significant. I recommend that you obtain legal advice. Please contact me directly at stephen.gillman@stlawyers.ca so we can schedule a time to discuss your matter in more detail.
