No, not unless the termination is based on your work performance prior to the disability. You may want to have a good workers compensation attorney talk with you. You could have a wrong-full termination and/or discrimination of disability's claim.
Yes, you can be terminated while on Canada Pension Plan (CPP) disability, as your employer may choose to terminate your employment for various reasons unrelated to your disability. However, if you are receiving benefits from a private insurer, you may be entitled to a lump sum payment depending on the terms of your insurance policy. It's important to review your specific insurance contract and consult with a legal or financial advisor for personalized guidance.
Yes, the insurance is kept but you must pay the full amount your employer paid. If not Cobra insurance will be offered at a very expensive rate.
Yes, an employee can and often will be terminated while on a Long-Term disability claim if there is indication he/she will not be returning to work. There is nothing stating or requiring an employer to keep an employee who is unable to perform the tasks required by their job description on staff.Clearly the Long-Term disability benefits will continue regardless. However, other benefits could be lost once terminated. Check with you insurance provider for specifics on this.

Legally, no, an employer should not lay off anyone after disability. However, it does happen. It particularly happens if the employee can no longer do his or her job correctly because of his or her disability.
If you are on short term disability, they cannot fire you. You are likely to face the end of your employment upon return from LOA. Contact HR and find out either how to extend your disability term until fully recovered or ask for information on their COBRA plan and your separation pay.
