I am not sure I understand the issue. Please explain. The temp agency will file wsib papers and your wife will get benefits so there should be no problem. If she is able to return to work both red path and the temp agency have to help her with accommodation.

The first thing your wife needs to do is get healthy. Once she is able to return to work, she needs to contact the temp agency. If they won't take her back at that time, she has a very good case against both companies and she needs to call me. Lior Samfiru
