Canadian Forces Res Class B over 180 days - extension of contract due to injury

[bigcletus]

Did a search but couldn't find an answer.
With all the "cuts" ongoing, is there a policy that extends injured soldier's contracts due to military service injuries, at least until said condition is rectified? QR&O 34 was no help.
References??
Thanks

Well the way I read QR&O 34, once your contract is up, you are out of a job and medical care. But continuing medical care may be available if the attending doc and CO sign for it.

From http://www.ombudsman.forces.gc.ca/rep-rap/sr-rs/rc-str/app-ann-a-b-eng.asp

(6) Subject to paragraph (5), a member of the Reserve Force whose need for medical care is attributable to the performance of duty is entitled:

    (a) for the remaining period of duty to medical care at public expense; and

    (b) after termination of the period of duty to such medical care at public expense as the attending physician may consider necessary and as authorized by the officer commanding a command.

That's the way I read it...however they are playing too loose with the rules (as there really are none to speak of).  The CO has to sign off, but, and a big BUT, he's the one making the decisions to cut his "payroll".  Talk about a gross conflict of interest.

No rules to speak of? Someone just quoted them & posted them for you.

And, don't worry - it's not some big conspiracy theory to get rid of B Class this way either ... those QR&Os you were quoted were in effect (as ... rules!!) long before this current financial debacle; conflict of interest? - uh not.

It's got nothing to do with "payroll" ... I'll quote para 6b for you again:

6b. after termination of the period of duty (IE: when your contract is up, IE: no more "payroll") to such medical care at public expense as the attending physician may consider necessary and as authorized by the officer commanding a command.

What your officer commanding a command would then have to "authorize" is the CF continuing to pay for your medical care for that CF-related injury if it is so recommended and considered necessary by your attending physician ... not the employment of you.
