Add Comment Question: I am currently on STD, and two medical professionals have OK'd my return to work with modifications. However, my disability case worker keeps denying my return. Are they allowed to do that? Answer: If your physician has cleared you to return to work with accommodation, your employer must either allow you to return to your original position with accommodation or to a comparable role with accommodation.
