Termination from writing my own doctors sickness notes for absentism while under the influence of drugs/alcohol

Thank you for your question. My name is Jon Pinkus and I am an employment lawyer at Samfiru Tumarkin LLP.

It is possible that your employer may have had just cause for termination if it can prove that you were creating fraudulent doctor's notes. It is also possible that if you have an alcohol or drug addiction those may be mitigating factors. However, before we make any assessment of your entitlements we would want to know more about your situation. If interested, please contact us at the number below for a consultation.
