I was an RN who worked full time for twenty years in ontario.I had to quit do to illness and went on disability.I see the laws now are for a disabled worker to be entitled to severance pay.I was wondering if I could go back and seek this now.Im not sue when it became law.I went of sick in 99 and was granted permanent disability in 2002.

Check out the Ontario statutes to find the one that pertains to you and whether is applies or not.

However, I believe it was McGuinty who changed it, and he didn't take power until late 2003.

Therefore, I doubt you will qualify, but it is always possible the legislation could be retroactive, so check.
