Help! Ive been on disabality for 11 months,my job might not be there..

Hi Nicholson...

I'm not much help here, but I can offer my 2 cents.  Unless you took a leave under the Family Medical Leave Act (which I don't think counts for yourself) they probably can. You can always check with the state workers employment and see what they say. 

However, bottom line is most companies can not just hold a position for an undetermined amount of time, and if you were out that long I would imagine you staying in constant (as in monthly) contact with the HR or direct report would be a good idea just to keep the lines of communication open and them updated on your ETA for return to work.

I do hope it works out for you.  The owner I work for held my job for me (4 months) out of just being a great guy, not because he had to.  In fact when I told him of my dx and my treatment schedule I offered to resign if he felt that was in his best interest for the asset I managed.  He told me my job woudl be there when I got back, and he honored that.  I consider myself fortunate to work for him.

Keep us posted.
