This depends on the province where you work.
- In some provinces (like Ontario), you are still entitled to statutory pay even if your contract is frustrated due to illness or injury. This means your employer must provide the minimum amount of notice or pay in lieu of notice (and Severance Pay, if applicable) required by provincial employment standards legislation.
- In other provinces, frustration of contract may relieve the employer of the obligation to provide notice/pay in lieu of notice and severance pay.
It’s important to check the employment standards legislation in your province or consult with an employment lawyer to understand your entitlements.
