Legal Question in Employment Law in California

I recently left my stressful job due to depression and stress. My doctor and I both wrote a letter to my employer stating that the job has caused depression and stress and I'm taking an indefinite leave of absence. I work part-time and do not have any benefits whatsoever. What do I do in my case? Can they hire someone else, although I dont plan on going back to work for them?

Hello. If you are on indefinite leave and do not plan to go back to work, of course they can hire someone else. The common sense advice is that you should use your leave to get better, apply for disability benefits and then look for another job.

Thanks,
