I worked for a dr in his practice as a office nurse. I was in a bad car accident and hhave been off for a year and a half and the dr's say I will be off longer. early on I informed him that the dr's did not know how long I would be off for. I have concussion problems and my epilepsy is acting up. I recently heard that my employer is moving his practice to B.C. I have received no notice or nothing from him. I have not been in contact with him, he did find a replacement for me as is allowed to do. is that almost the same as letting me go while I am off sick or from dr's orders. which he is not allowed to do. will he owe me severance if he leaves and how long do I have? is it a year or 2 from the time he leaves or closes, which is essentially the end of my employment, even though I am off. I never said I wouldn't be back to work ever.
Thanks, Jen

However, it will be very important to understand the nature of your situation in more detail before that determination can be made.
