Add Comment Question: I had been working with my company for 16 years in Ontario. I am also a resident of Ontario. Due to a re-org/re-structuring they have laid me off, while I was on short term disability. My question for you - Is that something a company is allowed to do while on STD? Thank you. Answer: A company is permitted to terminate you while on STD leave, as long as your medical leave was not a reason for the termination. I would strongly encourage you to contact us at the number below as you could be entitled to significant termination entitlements.
