Add Comment Question: I am on long term disability due to my mental health. Last year the company I work for tried to offer me a buyout. Is the company allowed to do that? Answer: Your company is allowed to offer you a buyout, but you don't have to accept it. If it's insufficient, you could negotiate a better package. Alternatively, you could simply say that you're committed to attempting to return to work once medically cleared.
