I worked in a restaurant and had suffered an injury to one of my fingers while I was performing my duty as a server 6 weeks ago. I am now referred by my family physician to consult a surgeon's advice as my finger has been crooked ever since the injury. If it has been determined that a surgery will be required which will prevent me from working for a period of time, I like to understand what are my rights and if any compensation is available from either my employer or EI during the time I am unable to work after I receive the surgery. My company does not offer any insurance coverage such as short term disability and sick leave, but since my injury had occurred at work during the call of my duty, is my employer partially responsible for my injury?
