I suffer an occupational disease that was diagnosed while working for my current employer. I have become physically unable to perform my job. I have been an employee for over 9 years. wsib forced me into retraining as my employer did not cooperate in finding me a different position. I do have a permanent impairments related to this job and my old one. I want to go back to work there they are a large gov't organization. if they let me go can I accept a severance package and file a human rights for discrimination due to a disability.
If they terminate your employment and offer a severance package, they may make the payment conditional on you signing a release. Such a document would bar you from filing a human rights claim against your employer. Do not sign anything that the employer asks you to without calling us first. Lumi Pungea
