Thank you for your question. My name is Jon Pinkus and I am an employment lawyer at Samfiru Tumarkin LLP.
The question in this case is whether you are owed the minimum or your full entitlements. To answer that question, we must establish whether you have any reasonable prospect of returning to work. If the answer is no, then you are only owed your minimum entitlements, and 20 weeks' pay is likely the correct amount. If, on the other hand, it is premature to say that you have no prospect of not returning to work and the company's decision was based on your disability policy, then this would be a wrongful dismissal, in which case you should contact me at jon.pinkus@stlawyers.ca as soon as possible to discuss your entitlements.
