Human rights application dismissed; denial of short-term disability during severance period was not discriminatory.
The applicant, a teacher whose employment was terminated, tore his Achilles tendon while receiving salary continuation under a settlement agreement.
He requested short-term disability benefits, which the respondent school denied.
The applicant alleged discrimination based on disability, arguing he was treated differently than other injured employees.
The Tribunal dismissed the application, finding no prima facie case of discrimination.
The Tribunal concluded that the difference in treatment was not due to the applicant's injury, but rather his status as an employee working under a termination agreement.
