Hello, and thank you for your question.

My name is Andrew Goldberg and I am an employment lawyer at Samfiru Tumarkin LLP.

If your employer fires you for taking time off work due to medical reasons, you are almost certainly owed either reasonable notice of your termination or pay in lieu thereof. You may also be entitled to additional damages under the Ontario Human Rights Code.

Use our Ontario Severance Pay Calculator (www.severancepaycalculator.com) to find out how much you may be owed, and give us a call at the number below to discuss your situation in more detail.

Thank you,

Andrew
