Hello,
I am currently working at a company with a toxic environment- as a result I am on unpaid medical leave. I am planning on quitting but I cannot bare the thought of having to go back even for a day. All of my communication has been through HR regarding my leave. I had CCd my manager in the email but he choose to ignore the email. I would like to quit without notice however my employment contracts states the following: You may terminate this Agreement by providing the Company with two (2) weeks written notice of your intention to terminate your employment. The Company may terminate this Agreement at any time: without any notice or payment to you in the event of "cause" whether, as defined in this Agreement or existing otherwise, exists for such termination; or upon payment to you of the minimum entitlements to termination pay and, if applicable, severance pay entitlements provided for under the applicable employment standards or labor standards legislation. For additional clarity, upon termination of your employment without cause, you will not be entitled to any further payments related to termination notice, pay in lieu thereof, severance pay or damages for wrongful dismissal; or any other entitlements related to your employment with WIKA Instruments Ltd. or termination thereof whether pursuant to contract, common law, statute or otherwise.

I want to quit without notice and wanted to make sure that I would not get into any trouble for doing so.

I recommend you contact us at the number below to set up a consultation. Our legal team can assess the viability of a disability claim and/or a constructive dismissal so my advice is not to resign until you've had an opportunity to obtain legal advice about all your options.
