can a employer contact you while you are covered by a sick note
Question 1 Can you be fired if you are on disability due to a medical condition like cancer by your employer? Question 2 Can your employer fire you while on a medical disability over 6 months
No, what they did was wrong. I would contact a lawyer or at least, Labor and Industry
Yes, unless you pay/reimburse the employer for the insurance premium out of your own pocket.
You have to check into Social Security disability, if you don't have your own disability insurance (individual policy, or through your employer); It is recommended that you get your own Disability Insurance policy if your employer does not offer such benefits. Yes, there are disability insurance policies available in Virginia.
This is for Canada, but I'm pretty sure the same would apply in the US. The short answer is no, because most employers will have an exclusivity clause in your contract that means you cannot work for another employer while you are with them, and you are still under contract while you are on disability. You can probably quit your job while on disability and not be adversely affected, but I would definitely suggest reading your contract before doing this to make sure your employer won't be trying to recoup the disability payments. You might also find that your employer would terminate your disability if you gave notice, although I'm not sure of the legal background to this (employment law is very vague in Canada).
Are you currently disabled? If so, check with your employer and / or state's social security disability benefits. If not currently disabled, you can get individual long-term disability protection from a handful of disability insurance companies, or through your employer.
In theory, an employer can not terminate an employee out on disability, assuming you provided sufficient documentation. If you think you've been wrongly terminated, then I'd contact the EEOC. They can provide you with more info and point you in the right direction.
no, if you are collecting disability you are still employed
hello I am trying to do my taxes and I am on disability how do I get th employer id number
Yes, employer paid disability insurance plans are normally paid with pre-tax money, therefore the benefits will be taxed.
If the employer has a reason for doing this it could be possible. You could contact the labor board and ask them about this question.
