How long does my employer need to keep my job open?

This depends on the nature of your claim, whether it occurred at work and whether you are likely to be able to return to work.

It is illegal for an employer to terminate your employment merely because you have an injury or you have made a claim for compensation. However, your employer can, in some circumstances, terminate your employment if you have not been able to produce medical clearance to return to work. We can provide you with further information based on your specific circumstances.
