Ask your question and an employment lawyer in Ontario, BC or Alberta will answer in minutes
Hello,
I have a disability and have been approved for long term disability. I have a full-time working position at an arts organization and currently receiving insurance funds from their insurance as well as CPP disability.
I started working with the organization on May 30, 2013 as a contractor (same contract renewed every year) and became full-time (40 hours) employee on October 1, 2016.
The insurance company has given me a letter stating that I have been approved for their insurance disability until 2031. The organization has been asking questions and friends that are still there say there is a buzz about getting me out.
I have no idea about labour law in Canada or Ontario and I have a few starting questions:
1. Can the employer call me to make some kind of deal to get me out of contract and therefore stop payments from insurance?
2. If so, should I accept the meeting?
3. What can I expect from that meeting?
I can provide any additional information you may require to take a look at my options.
Best,
Adriana
If you have already been approved for Long Term Disability benefits from your employer, even if you are terminated from your employment, your LTD benefits will still continue. Your employer has the right to terminate you as long as they pay you adequate severance pay. You can meet with your employer if they would like to meet with you, but do not sign off on anything before speaking with a lawyer.
