I have an ee who was in an auto accident. She has been off work for the 12 week FMLA period and has brought me a note from her doctor stating that her return to work date is "undetermined". She is having problems with her neck and back, disks and what have you. She goes to the doctor everyday between her and her husbands physical therapy from the accident. On an unrelated issue this same ee has filed wc claims on 2 separate occasions, and from her previous er she was off work for 8 years due to a wc injury.
Effective 12/1/02, there is a light duty policy stating what position will be available for light duty. The ee will not be able to this job. This same job is one from which she filed a wc claim, too much activity on her shoulder (she puts mail into envelopes)? Can I terminate her since she has not returned from her 12 week leave?
