[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 519591"] Again-it needs to be verified-but my understanding is that after 12 weeks of protected leave-an employee who does not return from that leave may be terminated. However, an employee who needs more than 12 weeks MAY meet the definition of "disabled" and therefore could be protected under the ADA and/or could be entitled to disability pay. It requires a higher standard of proof. Does your union offer disability? There are also caveats for school employees who have shorter "years" that may require you work x amount of days per term. I don't know the details but I remember my friend having to go back for a few days before the end of term to preserve her job. [/QUOTE]
