Add Comment Question: Employer denied doctors note to work from home. If i quit, am I eligible for EI? Answer: If your doctor recommends that you should work from home and this is denied by your employer, you should not automatically quit. Instead, you should apply for EI sickness benefits. Further, I recommend you contact our firm to speak to a lawyer about whether the employer's denial of your work from home accommodation constitutes a constructive dismissal and entitles you to severance pay.
