Add Comment Question: Can I get my severance if I am on sick leave? Answer: Hello, Thank you for your question. If your employment has been terminated while you are off on sick leave, you are likely entitled to severance and potentially additional damages for discrimination (you could arguably say that your termination was due in part to being off on sick leave - i.e. a disability under the Human Rights Code). If this is something you are dealing with, please give us a call. We can schedule a consultation, gather more information, and be in a better position to fully advise you as to your rights and entitlements!
