Add Comment Question: Can I be terminated without cause on medical grounds or does that amount to discrimination Answer: Thank you for your question. My name is Jon Pinkus and I'm an employment lawyer with Samfiru Tumarkin LLP. What you have described sounds like both a potential wrongful dismissal and a human rights violation under the Ontario Human Rights Code. If an employer terminates your employment due to a medical condition, and in fact if your medical condition was even part of the reason why your employer terminated your employment, that could amount to discrimination under the Code. You should also consider whether you have been paid an adequate severance package, since the majority of severance packages are woefully inadequate. Visit our Free Severance Calculator at http://www.severancepaycalculator.com/ to find out your entitlements. After that, I would recommend that you either send me an email at jon.pinkus@stlawyers.ca or contact us at the number below for a consultation.
