Legal Question in Employment Law in Maryland

Re: Short Term Leave laws

You do not indicate whether your husband is covered by an employment contract, union agreement, etc. You do not indicate whether the company has a pre-existing policy concerning medical or sick leave. More facts are needed; please have your husband consult directly with a retained attorney to obtain proper guidance.

I strongly recommend that you consult with an attorney immediately so that you can explore your legal rights, obligations, and options. If you wish to discuss retaining my services, contact me at:

Re: Short Term Leave laws

Under worker compensation, available coverage exists for temporary partial disability.

Occupational disease may be a basis for the claim. Your question is not clear as to whether

worker compensation is the basis of recovery or simply short term disability insurance.

If worker compensation is involved, job placement may be an option. This would be alternate work

provided by the same employer. This, in and of itself, presents certain limitations as well as benefits.

If short-term disability is involved, the language of the insurance coverage is instrumental to the issue.

You should consult with an attorney. Numerous matters apply and specific legal advice should be sought. This e-mail is not specific advice as it

provides general information about the law and is not specific to your issue.
