Add Comment Question: I took a leave of absence from a job i was at for 3months they paid me while i was off then i applied for long term disability through them and i got denined. I appealed the decision and even tried to go back to work on light duties and no one will answer my call and its been a couple months. They still allow me my benifits for my medication. What are my rights if any please Answer: Hi there, thanks for your question. If your doctor has cleared you to return to work, even if on light duties, your employer must accommodate your return. If they don't, you may be able to consider yourself terminated and seek severance and additional compensation. It is very important in the circumstances that you speak with an employment lawyer as soon as possible. Feel free to give us a call at the number below to discuss this in more detail.
