We support workers in Quebec dealing with disability after a workplace accident or occupational injury.

What is work disability?

Work disability may refer to a temporary or permanent incapacity to perform one’s job after a workplace accident or occupational disease.

Depending on the situation, that incapacity may be recognized in a CNESST file.

A disability situation may lead to income replacement compensation when the worker cannot perform their job because of an occupational injury.

Your rights in a disability situation

CNESST compensation

The CNESST may pay income replacement compensation when a worker cannot perform their job because of an occupational injury.

Medical care and follow-up

The file may also involve medical care, evaluations, and follow-up needed to support recovery.

Adapted return to work

An adapted return to work may be considered according to the worker’s remaining capacities.

Suitable employment

CNESST describes suitable employment as work that uses the worker’s residual capacity and qualifications and does not create danger considering the occupational injury.

Suitable employment is not simply any available job. It must fit the worker’s remaining capacity after the injury.

Frequent problems in a disability file

CNESST refusal

Some disability-related claims or requests may be refused or considered incomplete.

Disability not recognized

The file may raise disagreements about the nature, duration, or recognition of the incapacity.

Pressure to return too early

Tension may arise when a return to work is considered before the medical situation is stable.

Insufficient compensation

The amount or duration of compensation can also become a source of confusion or dispute.
