Add Comment Question: I was dismissed without cause due to absenteeism after receiving my first warning (a level 1 on a 3 tiered warning policy) prompted by inquiring about an ESA right. I was employed for almost 4 years and the bulk of the absenteeism was due to injury in the workplace. I was on wsib without pay but followed both my Dr and physiotherapists recommendations as to how to proceed working safely. This happened 2 times and my injuries were significant. Also, I have reported 2 significant physical disabilities and requested modified duties less than a month prior to my dismissal. Saying this, I was also the only full time female on my shift at the time, 2 others were on leave, another 2 left the shift after feeling they weren't being treated fairly due to gender. I would really like to get my job back and/or compensation as it has triggered anxiety and depression. Both of which I've suffered for years but haven't disclosed. The shift leader was questioning my coworkers in August if I had been "talking about him negatively" to them. I was feeling targeted by this shift leader and brought my concerns to other shift leaders about it. Nothing was ever done about it and HR was always closed while I was on my shift. What can I do? Answer: Based on the information you have provided, it appears that you are entitled to severance pay. Given your years of service, you will likely receive around 6 months' severance pay. Further, you may be entitled to damages under applicable human rights legislation as your employment was terminated as a result of your medical condition and/or gender.
