Disability Again and Again

[Guest Barb5494@aol.com]

We have an employee who went out April 2004 for dependency due to a vascular problem, then August 2004 for vascular problem surgery. Upon his return, his work responsibilities have been lessened to accomodate his vascular problems (janitor), without HR knowing.

Now his condition is getting progressively worse, and he expects more aspects of his job to be "lessened - or accomodate to his ailment. How can I suggest that this ee go out on STD in the hopes his doctor and the plan will ok him to LTD.

He already depleted his FMLA last year from Aug - Nov. and it has not replenished yet.
