Hi, I am in CA. I was injured on the job in October, opened a claim and had been going to worker's comp doctor visits and getting treatment and also receiving temporary disability. In December I received an email from my work direct supervisor that they would have work for me whenever I was ready to go back. As it stands right now I am not able to return to work. The doc has put me off of work until March, then I go back for evaluation.
Today I received an email from HR stating that I had been out on leave for more than 12 weeks therefore it is not guaranteed that I would be reinstated at the same position or provided any job at all if I were to return in March.
What protection or benefits can I expect? I figure I would continue to receive medical care and temp disability through workers comp, and I am focusing on recovery. Once that happens, will I be out of a job and all benefits? I don't have a lot of savings and what I have I am also spending on getting alternative treatments to speed up the healing, since health really is top priority at this point.
I am fairly stressed out by the email I received today. Any feedback or information would be welcome.
Thank you.
