My wife is an Educational Assistant. She is considered a 10 month employee, being laid off at the end of the school year and brought back in September. She has worked full time for 19 years. A couple of years ago she was attacked and badly beaten by a student, she was having some difficulty returning to work and was diagnosed with PTSD. The school board gave her an accommodation, moving her to a different school and a non violent student. This lasted for over a year, when her assignment was changed to a different student. This student turned out to be violent and her symptoms returned with a vengeance. She was put off work by our family doctor and by a psychiatrist. She is now on short term disability at 90% pay from the school board. The question; will she be laid off like normal at the end of the school year? If so, will she be able to draw EI?

Hi I worked for a produce company for 31years and have degerative disc desease and lumbar stenosis in my back and neck, so I tried to get LTD disability but it was denied, I also worked part time, seasonal for the city of York just driving around and taking pictures of the streets to make sure the plow trucks were doing a good clean job, now that the part time job has ended am I able to collect EI insurance for the part time job assuming I have enough hours or will that effect my Lawsiut for my LTD disability claim, it us a totally different job description and different company as well , please let me know if you are able to answer this question for me.

It was my understanding that if I'm terminated while on LTD, my employer will have to pay me severance related to "frustration of contract" in an amount much less than what is indicated in the Severance Pay Calculator (Statute vs Common Law). The difference is 7 months and 20 months respectively.
