Add Comment Question: I may be terminated because of a workplace accident in Oct/ 23 took 1 week off went back to work aggravated so bad I had to stop work after 6 week. Then in Jan 25 WCB denied the" continuance" of my claim. Which I am in the Review process with WCB. My work would not take me back to work in Mar/24 when my doc said I could go back with restrictions. As I would not sign a Non Occupational RTW form, as I signed an Occupation when I was injured. I then had shingles I received a Fedex letter saying if I don't sign Non Occupational in 5 days my job was at risk. I brought a doctors letter. They left me alone till I said I was clear of shingles. Then second letter Fedex to me saying if I did not sign the Non Occupational in 4 days my job could be terminated. I also had asked more than once if they could do a generic for neither Non or Occupational. I was told no. I did email them and said I was not going to be intimidated by threats of termination. I had repeatedly said from the start that I would gladly sign an Occupation form. May 29/24 2 weeks after my sent letter, I got a call from management saying Could I come in they had decided that they would make up a "Neither" Non Occupational or an Occupational. I went to doctor he filled out and put my restriction. I filled out my part and signed with this on top of page “By copy of my signature I am also stating that I have been verbally assured by management that this is neither a non-occupational or an occupational form”. dropped off. Jun 13/24 1 week later I got a call from management saying he discussed with head office and due to my restrictions that I could not come back at this time. I was to do same for for my July 18/24 doc appointment and bring in to be assessed again. I had stopped at my work a week or 2 after and management had said if my restriction were the same it could not go on like this....... Also when all this first started management said if I wouldn't sign the forms that I could wait till I was fully healed. I was just at doctors forms filled out again restrictions are the same. Will take in to work Monday to see what happens I guess. There is more but this is the shortened version. Answer: Your employer cannot force you to sign any documentation, including a new contract. If your employer is refusing to accommodate your restrictions as outlined by your treating doctor this could be a human rights violation and you could be entitled to damages. If your employer fires you for this you are absolutely entitled to severance.
