Are deemed termination clauses illegal in Ontario? Can the employer pick an arbitrary date of 24 or 36 months to terminate if you have been off work with a disability?

Hello,

If your employer is trying to allege you have been terminated as a result of you being off work due to a disability for a long period of time, I highly recommend that you contact our office to schedule a consult with one of our lawyers so we can review any contracts/policies your employer may have and to better assess the entirety of the circumstances. If after 2-3 years have passed, the employer may be able to allege "frustration of contract" such that they take the position you have been terminated. A lawyer would need to review this further to determine whether the employer has a viable argument for frustration of contract.
