900 CHML – Employer Rights When Employee No Longer Performing

What rights does an employer have when it comes to dealing with an employee who is no longer performing their duty to the fullest?

T.J. Simers was let go by the Los Angeles Times after working for decades as a sports columnist at the paper. The 69-year-old’s employment was terminated soon after he suffered a mini-stroke while covering an MLB game.

Jon Pinkus is a Toronto Employment Lawyer and an associate at Samfiru Tumarkin LLP. He joined host Scott Radley on Global News Radio 900 CHML to explain what an employer’s options are when an employee is no longer functioning as well as they once could, and what an employee’s rights are in that situation.
