My employer has contacted me while being off on medical leave . This is because my group insurance has cut off my payments due to a “definition change.” And the insurance company suggested that I either contact my employer for return to work plans or appeal their decision. I’ve decided to wait and see if my private insurance can top up the payments. What I’m worried about is whether or not this affects my employment status and my extended health benefits. It seems like the company probably hasn’t and won’t hold my position for me. So, I feel like I’m going in blind with my employer reaching out to discuss my leave of absence. I’m not sure what to expect or what my rights would be in this situation. Would it be a good idea to consult with one of your employment lawyers before I reach back out to them, or get in touch with my manager to get more information first? Thank you in advance.
