I was injured in a car accident and my boss refused to take me back unless I was at 90-100% of previous capacity. I was not given any opportunity to try during a workplace assessment with my occupational therapist. I worked for the company for over 7 years. Am I entitled to severance pay? Thank you.

Yes, not only are you entitled to severance, what you describe may well be a violation of the human rights code. You potentially can be owed significant compensation. In addition, we need to discuss the car accident. We have quite a bit to discuss, so please give me a call at the number below.
