l am on a sick leave, and I know my employer has already hired someone to take over my position.I would like to know what i should do to defend myself from wrongful dismissal.

At this point, I would suggest you keep diligent records of any medical information supporting your absence and any correspondence regarding your absence that you have had with your employer.

Upon your return to work, if you are terminated you are entitled to severance pay and may be entitled to significant human rights damages. I would encourage you to use the severance pay calculator our firm has developed to see what you may be owed if terminated (www.SeverancePayCalculator.com).

If dismissed, do not sign any documents provided by employer and call us right away so that we can assist you.
