I was off for for 8 days due to illness induced kidney failure. I was urged to be admitted to hospital but refused and went home. I went to family dr next day and he wrote me off for 8 days stating totally disabled. He wrote me a requisition for blood work and ultra sound. The nurse followed up 2 days later and once again said I should go to emerge and be admitted. They gave me another requisition for bloodwork in which I did 2 days later. I returned to work and my work is saying that I have now used all of my sick days (I already had 2 used and I called in twice over 2 wks following kidney failure due to feeling sick). I went for a meeting with HR and plant manager to say that these days I was critically ill should not be counted but they quoted the Employment standards Act and said because I wasnt under direct care of a Dr that they are counted against me and if i miss 1 more day i will be terminated.
Hello,
Thank you for your enquiry.
In answer to your situation, should your employer terminate your employment, you would likely be given much less compensation than you are entitled to. You could arguable be entitled to compensation currently, based on how the employer has handled your employment situation.
I suggest giving our firm a call to schedule a consultation. From there we can discuss what has been occurring to date, along with what you may be entitled to (both in the event of a termination or otherwise).
