Question I work for a retail store and became pregnant. After being asked to get a doctor's note stating that I cannot unload the trucks b/c of my pregnancy they put me on LOA. Then I had to get a different note and they let me back for light duty for 8 weeks. Now next weeks it's the end of my 8 weeks and I am getting put on LOA again until after I have the baby. I qualify for short/long term disabiltiy. Can I collect the disability pay from my employer but also work part time at another job?
Answer Typically, a doctor must certify that you are disabled and cannot work in order for short term disability benefits to kick in. If you are actually working during this time, I would imagine your contract will require you to repay the std benefits. I would read the policy carefully and seek local counsel to assist you with specific provisions you may not understand.
