Add Comment Question: I have been off work for 2 weeks because of an addiction. I tried stopping but it just made me sick. I went to the hospital to seek help. My boss is well aware of my addiction and has helped me himself in the past. Now he is not answering my calls. I'm afraid I may have lost my job. Answer: Your employer must accommodate your medical disability. If you are ready to return to work and he refuses then this would constitute a termination and you would be entitled to a severance package.
