My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: Kansas
Given WARN notice 2/27/09, term. date is 4/30/09. Co. policy sent me home 2/27/09 with all pay and benefits until 4/30/09. Found out have possible colon cancer, even if not cancer will have to have surgery to remove part of colon. Just wondering if I can file FMLA and STD and my job/benefits will extend past my term date if my condition warrants and I am not released to work again by DR.
My position qualified for unlimited sick leave pay.
My concerns are that COBRA is so high, Life insurance will be dropped 4/30, will not be able to draw unemployment if not available to work, will be impossible to get insurance after this diagnosis.
Worried about calling company to inquire.....STD and LTD were part of my employee benefits.
Thank you
