11 year employee here, if company is forcing me to go on disability , that is apply and go on std or ltd ( which I doubt I will get from Sunlife) because they cannot accommodate me at work, is this considered a termination of some sort? I have to call Friday, what should I ask the nurse ? Should I ask her if i am being terminated ??? After Friday when the nurse calls, w they put it in the hands of Sunlife, would this be an employment issue or a sunlife issue ? Do I a get a severance, if let go and put on disability ?
they are comparing my medical testing with a job demand analysis of my current job, to see if I can function at a level that is satisfactory to them, does this become a human rights issue ?
Thank you for your questions. The answer to many of those questions involves determining whether the company has acted reasonably in trying to accommodate whatever health issues you are dealing with. If they have acted unreasonably, it may very well be considered a termination and a human rights violation. However, before you make any decisions or advise the company of your position on these issues, it is extremely important that you speak with an employment lawyer.
