Can i be Indefinitely laid off by my boss almost immediately after having my LTD claim terminated? Also, can the same "threaten" my job for months while i am on LTD?
Thank you for your question. My name is Jon Pinkus and I am an employment lawyer with Samfiru Tumarkin LLP.
What you have described is very likely a wrongful dismissal. A layoff is a termination at law. Moreover, if you were threatened because of your LTD claim, that could be a human rights violation. You are likely going to be entitled to significant compensation.
I have seen this exact situation many times before and helped people in your circumstances. The employer believes because your LTD is denied, you have to come back to work. That is nonsense.
Please contact me at Jon.pinkus@stlawyers.ca and we can set up a free consultation to discuss this in more detail and tell you what we can do. I can also connect you with one of my colleagues to discuss the LTD issue. We can help you on both fronts.
