You have no obligation to keep this employee's job open if your legitimate business needs require you to fill the position. If he wants to return to his job upon recovery, it's certainly foolish for him to ignore your contact attempts. As for his health coverage if you plan to keep his job open, you should consult with your insurance agent about their requirements under a group plan.
