They can eliminate your position unless you are on FMLA time off which is a federal statute. They have to have 15 more employees to be covered by that. If you have been sent back to work and are getting paid TPD because you cannot do regular job and they dont have light duty it is best that you on look for other work if you are still their employee. You should really discuss your specific case with an attorney.
