Ask your question and an employment lawyer in Ontario, BC or Alberta will answer in minutes
My dad has recently received a notice that his position has been 'cancelled'. He was working for this company when he got into a motor accident on the job, and WSIB has deemed him permanently disabled. They created this position specifically for him as aadmin (he used to be a truck driver for DHL/Loomis). He's been working for the company for over 15 years but they recently split and he continued with Loomis. He may now be out of a job because he cannot qualify for others because of his restrictions. Please advise, as he still has a mortgage and bills to pay.
Your dad needs to speak with an employment lawyer, and I suggest that you contact one at the number below. If he has been off for some time, and all of the medical evidence states that he is permanently disabled and unable to work, DHL/Loomis may be able to claim frustration of contract. However, in this event, your dad still would be entitled to termination and severance pay. There could also be a question as to whether or not DHL/Loomis has discriminated against your dad in any way, or has failed in its obligations with respect to disabled employees.
