I am a doctor. Sometimes I have patients asking me to write a letter for them to support a change the employer needs to make to accommodate a disability. At times, the employer refuses to pay for the letter. By law, who is responsible for the payment? the employer, the insurance company covering the short-term or long-term disability or the patient himself or herself?

I am a doctor and have other doctors, therapists and counsellors subletting from me in a large office space. They each have their own clients and are totally responsible for them. Sometimes they get referrals from other subletters. Are they considered independent contractors or are they considered employees according to Ontario law?
