    That sounds right if you are living in Ontario. (if I am remembering correctly)

    Each province/state had its own set of laws on this though. You need to check into what your province/state says on this.

    Most laws are online.

    Where is your Aunt from?

    If she is able to do the required work then they should give her job back.

    Hello Hector:

    If your Aunts’ job was protected by a union contract, then depending on that contract, she will or won't be given her job back. Her job might also be covered by a personal employment contract. Those, however are rare.

    Absent the above, she is employed "at will". That's a legal term which means she can be fired for any reason whatsoever (other than discrimination), even if the boss doesn't like the color of her eyes.

    I agree, they SHOULD give her job back. It's also true that I SHOULD be 30 years younger. In the real world, however, SHOULD doesn't apply.
