Clear, practical advice for Alberta employees facing workplace questions or challenges.

Termination and Disability

Losing your job while dealing with a medical condition or disability can be overwhelming and, in many cases, it may also be unlawful. In Alberta, the Employment Standards Code makes it illegal to terminate an employee while they are on long-term illness leave. Likewise, the Alberta Human Rights Act prohibits any form of discrimination against an employee due to a medical condition or disability, and protects employees from being fired or treated unfairly due to their medical condition or disability.
Employers must make genuine efforts to accommodate your medical condition or disability, such as adjusting your job duties or allowing a gradual return to work plan.

At Lypkie Henderson, we help employees who have been terminated while on disability leave or after disclosing a medical condition. Our employment lawyers review the circumstances to determine whether your termination was discriminatory or wrongful and work to secure the compensation and remedies you deserve.

If your employer failed to accommodate your disability or ended your employment while you were ill or injured, contact us to discuss your options and ensure your rights are protected.
