LTD

SWilkie

We have an employee who was out on STD (has used all FMLA time) and now has been moved to LTD. Can we hire someone to replace this employee? When the employee is released from LTD and can return to work, do we have to give the employee the same position back or can the employee work in an equivalent postion (of course with same pay)?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Happy Friday!

You are under no obligation according, to the law (FMLA), to take him back or employee him in any capacity once he has used up all of his time under FMLA. If your policies dictate something else then you are obligated by them.

Good Luck
