My work is trying to force me out for lack of sales.i am currently on sick leave because of the stress. It made my heart rate go up.

I have medical restrictions that my doctor says allow me to work. My employer appears unwilling to schedule me because they prefer employees who can perform all job duties without restrictions. I am willing and able to work within my restrictions. What rights do I have regarding accommodation, return to work, and continued employment? If the employer chooses not to provide work because of my restrictions, what are my legal options and could I be entitled to severance or other remedies? Are they legally required to accommodate my medical restrictions, or can they simply choose to give work only to employees who can perform the full job without restrictions?

My employment was recently terminated by my employer in Ontario. My employment agreement contains a termination clause that appears to limit my entitlement to the minimum requirements under the Ontario Employment Standards Act. My employer has offered two weeks of salary, plus an additional two weeks in exchange for signing a fairly broad full and final release. I would like to understand whether the termination clause may be enforceable as written, and whether there may be grounds to negotiate a better separation package. I held a management-level position and had responsibility for a small team. Are there any other factors I should consider when assessing whether the proposed package is reasonable?
