I’m current on EI sickness medical leave until March 1st approved by my doctor but I got an email today from my HR saying that “we have supported your claim to our maximum allowed under your programme to Feb 5. After 2/4, if you are not able to return you need to apply and be approved for Long-term disability.” Is this true? 3rd party HR firm my employer hired told me my employer doesn’t provide std through company insurance plan hence my short term is on EI sickness. EI sickness benefits states that short term can be covered up to 26 weeks. I’m currently on week 13.

I am disabled and on ODSP but I work part time. My employer wants me and my doctor to fill out a form that goes to a 3rd party company called Organizational Solutions Inc, called a Medical Narrative. I don't want to divulge my personal medical information to a 3rd party company, as it gives them accessto to all my medicalrecords. I also dont want to give my employer acces to my medical records if they ask for that. Can my employer force me to fill out the medical Narrative for the 3rd party company. Or for my employer? Can they fire me for not doing either of these things?
