Add Comment Question: I was fired because of lost time due to a medical condition. No advanced notice, no probation, nothing. Is that right? Answer: My name is David Vaughan and I am an employment lawyer with Samfiru Tumarkin. It is illegal for an employer to terminate an employee's employment due to medical reasons. This would constitute a human rights violation and entitle you to severance pay.
