I'm currently hired through a agency and work as a industrial millwright. I was involved in a hit and run when I was walking across the street and could potentially have ligament damage in my right knee. I have went to work over the last week with my company providing accommodations without a doctor's note. But when I went in to get my xray results and found that I need to get ultra sound due to fluid build up in one of my compartments in my knee. The tone has changed when I gave them a doctor's not regarding some accommodations that I need. I have saved the txt messages. But my employer has said he will see if they can accommodate me, if not they will send me home without pay. Again I work through a agency and when I talked to the head of the agency she said that they don't have to accommodate me since it happened outside of work. I have done research into the employment standards act and this I feel should not be allowed. Do I have a case here incase they do send me home. Thank you very much for your time

Everyone is entitled to accommodation and the employer must accommodate you if they can.
