Yes, it is. The Employment Standards Act was updated in 2019 to include stress/burnout. To apply for long-term disability (LTD) benefits due to burnout can be complicated, however. There is wisdom in hiring an LTD lawyer at Verkhovets Law to help you. Your employer’s group policy will provide information on how long the long-term disability (LTD) benefits can last; this is entirely dependent on what the contract between your employer and the insurance company says. Insurers offer LTD benefits to employers for 24, 60, 120 months and up to age 65 (retirement).
