Add Comment Question: Hi I have worked my job for 10 years now I have been on short term disability and my condition has not changed ,I applied for long term disability and was denied and my dr said I could go back to work on modified duties my work is telling me they can't offer me modified duties because all there jobs fall under my drs restrictions so they are saying I can't return to work is that legal ? Answer: Thank you for your question. No that is not legal. Your employer has a duty to accommodate you in the workplace. Your employer's refusal to accommodate may be considered a constructive dismissal. I would encourage you to visit the severance pay calculator our firm has developed to see what you may be owed (www.SeverancePayCalculator.com). In addition, you may have been wrongfully denied access to LTD benefits. I would encourage you to call us and set up a consultation with one of our lawyers who will be able to fully discuss both matters with you.
