Add Comment Question: If and employee keeps taking time off for sick days, is that grounds for dismissal? She is never here! Answer: If an employee is persistently unable to work due to medical issues or requires an extended absence, you can ask for a medical note substantiating this. If the employee is unable to provide this, it would constitute an unauthorized leave and may justify termination for cause. However, when dealing with a medical issue, it is important to proceed carefully, as it can give rise to human rights liability. Therefore, before making any decisions, I recommend that you contact our firm to discuss the matter in more detail and determine how we can assist you protect your legal rights.
