Legal Question in Employment Law in Connecticut

Against Doctor's Advice
My company's medical plan provides for four months leave of absence with full weekly pay pursuant to doctor's diagnoses. The company has disregarded my doctor's diagnosis and treatment plan and began cutting my pay even though my doctor was explicitly clear regarding my need for an additional month and his treatment instructions for me. The company has taken this measure despite their own stated/written short-term disability provisions and despite the fact that I'm within the allocated four-month period. Is there a law which governs this type of double-talk; one which mandates that a company abide by a physician's treatment plan/prescription-for-care?

Yes, you may have a claim for violation of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act which governs employee benefit plans.
