I got hurt at work and have been on the Workpace Safety & Insurance Board (WISB) as a work injury. When I spoke with WSIB, the representative said that my employer mentioned to them a week medical leave of absence that I took months ago. The leave had been in regards to mental health and has nothing to do with my injury.



The representative on the phone also stated that it shouldn’t have been mentioned. Has this breached my confidentiality? If so, what can I do about it?

If you suffered damage to your reputation or employability because they slandered you that you can prove, absolutely. They have no business repeating what they did.



You must be able to identify the exact damage and prove it. It would be better if you had some other examples of the same kind of behavior out of them as well.
