Hello,
I have been out of work since last January (2016) due to a neurological disorder. I was on short term disability, then subsequently on LTD. Two weeks after my FMLA, I recieved notification from my boss (via phone), that she was not holding my position. She stated that my job could not be left open for an undetermined amount of time, as I was unsure of when I could or if I would be able to return to work. She then said some negative comments to me, which were all but bullying. This was the mentality even before I was out on leave of our "team". When I spoke to disability services, I was told that when I was able to return to work, I would need to work with recruitment to find an available position. I would have two weeks to work with recruitment. If there was no open position, I could file for unemployment. Over the past few weeks, I have been looking elsewhere, as I will be cleared by surgeon to return to work beginning March 1.
My question is, what if anything do I owe for a notice? I was told that will I am still technically still an employee of the company, I am a displaced employee. I have been offered a position with another organization, and accepted. I will let the insurance company covering my LTD know, and they have also said I am well within my rights. I just don't know what to tell the actual company. Do I tell them about the negative comments said, or do I just leave it alone? I think it is critically important to understand why there is such a high turnover on said team, but also just want to move on. Thoughts?
