I have been off work on LTD since April 2021 for major depressive disorder and high anxiety. I am not cleared by my psychiatrist to RTW yet. I received a letter 2 days ago from my employer, which is giving me to June 30th, 2023 to advise if I will be RTW or not. Below is cut and pasted from the letter: "Should you plan to return to work, we would ask that you please advise us on or before Friday, June 30th, 2023. After June 30th, 2023, we will no longer be able to hold your position and will proceed with the following: 1. Issue payment of any outstanding accrued wages and vacation pay (if any). 2. Cancellation of the following benefits through our benefits provider Victor Insurance: a. Extended Health Care; b. Emergency Travel Assistance; and c. Dental Care. In the alternative, you can opt to take over payment of these premiums to keep these benefits available to you. 3. Issue a record of employment in electronic format." As I am not cleared to RTW, I cannot answer this. Also, the LTD benefits I am receiving have been extended to August 2023. I don't know if I keep paying premiums if it will cover the LTD or not. I am unsure how to proceed.

My supervisor has berated me, picked at me, belittled me and embarrassed me in-front of my coworkers for almost 2 years. A few months ago I went to my manager and the 3 of us ( manager, supervisor, myself) had a meeting. My manager was behind me 100%. My supervisor didn’t react well. Months later I’m still in the same situation but it’s worse. I I contacted my manager and the general manager via text and explained my situation. They talked about it for a day and offered me another position. I felt I needed to take the other position because I must work. I did that position for 2 days but I had made a doctors appointment prior to this decision by my general manager. . My doctor has me off work for minimal 4 weeks due to acute medical exacerbation. My question is; I’m off on medical leave because of the stress I have been undergoing at work. Should my employer be paying my wages while I am off? If they don’t I have to go on unemployment and receive half my wages.
