I also belong to several HR forums when I often answer questions
Can a company terminate an employees employment while on Sick Leave? The employee has provided the employer with medical notes and has been calling the employer regularly to update them about their status.
The employee has been given a notice of termination with "No Cause"
The employee has used up their sick days and requested to use their vacation pay before applying to Short Term Disability if required.....
Please advise
Answer An employee cannot be terminated for simply being on sick leave. If there are other reasons than perhaps, but I would not do it. I think that you should contact your provincial ministry of labour. If you need that information let me know in which province you are working.
