Can an employer terminate an employee because of illness or disability?

Labour & Employment Law

Only within the safeguards of section 143. Medical recommendation is relevant, and special protection applies to workers undergoing treatment following workplace accidents or occupational disease.

Where a worker with physical disability or injury can perform another suitable job consistent with their health condition, the employer is required to place the worker in such work where possible.
