On the 1st of january 2022, I fractured and dislocated both my shoulders and had to undergo surgery, and my surgeon said i should stay off work untill may 2nd 2022. But my work is refusing to cover me after march 25 saying that as per company policy, I wasn’t “fully disabled” after that date, and yes they are right, but 8 hours a day on a computer would have made my situation worse, hence why the doctor gave me untill the 2nd of May.
I talked to employee raltions saying i felt “medically discriminated against just because my work is sedentary” (i am mot sure if that is the correct phrase to use) and they came back to me today saying they conducted a “thorough investigation” and that they found out that my claim was wrong.
The mental health damage done to me by this whole situation is great, especially since all this bickering back and forth with them has ruined all possibilities of me going to visit my family overseas this summer.
Btw, this is in Ontario Canada, so if any canadian lawyer or law student reads this can you please tell me if i would have any leverage in court ? I would gladly discuss more details in a private chat.
