I've never been allowed to terminate during a probationary period if an employee is on WCB.
We basically pause the probation, offer modified duties and then continue the probation when cleared for full duties. Refusing modified duties or not reporting for work could lead to dismissal or an assumption of job abandonment and WCB would cease covering the employees wages.
Tough spot to be in, as the trust factor has definitely been destroyed. I'd still ask for the probation to be not reset and others have said put your head down do your best for now and look for better opportunities elsewhere when healthy.
