Section 255 Disposition versions

255. If it is shown to the satisfaction of the Commission that the worker was the object of a sanction or action referred to in section 32 within six months of the date on which he had suffered an employment injury or the date on which he had exercised a right conferred on him by this Act, there is a presumption in his favour that the sanction was imposed on him or the action was taken against him because he had suffered an employment injury or had exercised that right.

In the case of the first paragraph, the employer must prove that the sanction was imposed or the action taken in respect of the worker for another good and sufficient reason.
