I went on a short-term disability leave for my mental health. My work required a doctor’s note to say I’m okay to return to the work place, the note provided said I could return to work but with modified hours. Our HR department wants further paperwork filled to explain this decision as the modification doesn't allow me to work closing shifts and policy for leadership requires ability to do closing shifts. I am worried they will use this modification as reason to demote me from my position or terminate me. The health decision to modify my hours is to prevent relapse of my anxiety issues which has a negative effect on my overall health and has contributed to disturbances in my work quality and reliability. are they able to demote or fire me for this accommodation? Are they able to demote or terminate me for related work quality/reliability issues leading up to my leave that I can communicated were related to my health issues?

Good Afternoon. I was employeed by CAA Niagara as a tow truck dispatcher. I worked from 12/Dec/2022 to 27/Mar/2023. Their reason for my termination was a decision based on the ongoing review of my performance and abililties within my position as dispatcher. I had 3 one on ones with my supervisor and was never given any items to work on, or had dissipilnary action. I was told at my one on one the week before I was terminated that my KPI's were average which was good considering my short time there. I was not given access to my benefits until 21 Mar 2023, a week passed my probation period and then my benefits were terminated 27 Mar 2023. I was not given the oportunity to use them. I was informed that I would be paid out 2 weeks of salary in lieu of notice. I was wondering if their is a legal ground for asking for extended health benefits and if I can ask for any longer period of payment. I am 57 years old.

Good day, I was recently placed on administrative leave with pay, as there were allegations against me. It has now been almost a month and I have not heard anything back from the company. What are my rights in this situation? If I am able to find a new job, can I quit?
