Add Comment Question: Can an employer force you to go on Short Term Disability if you have a doctors note to work from home while under treatment? Answer: Thanks for writing. You’ve actually connected to our LTD department, as opposed to our employment team – and this would really be an employment matter. I recommend using our free employment questions website (www.terminationquestions.com) as a starting point. That said, if you do end-up applying for short-term and/or long-term disability, and you're denied or cut-off, please contact us right away, and we'll connect you with an LTD lawyer for a free consultation.
