240. The rights conferred by sections 236 to 239 may be exercised
(1)  within one year following the beginning of the period of continuous absence of the worker as a result of an employment injury if he held employment in an establishment numbering twenty workers or fewer at the beginning of the period;
(2)  within two years following the beginning of the period of continuous absence of the worker as a result of an employment injury if he held employment in an establishment numbering more than 20 workers at the beginning of the period; or
(3)  before the expiry of any right to return to work provided for in a collective agreement applicable to the worker, where applicable, if that right to return to work is broader than those provided for in subparagraphs 1 and 2.
The fact that a worker returns to work following medical advice does not interrupt his period of continuous absence if, as a consequence of his injury, the state of his health related to his injury forces him to leave his work the day he returns.
1985, c. 6, s. 240; 2021, c. 27, s. 76.
