An employee currently on Dukes total disability has a return to work clearance (with or without restrictions) from his physician. Can I process a return from leave payroll form?
No, Human Resources (attn: Sonya Stewart, fax 681-8774) should be sent immediately any return to work request submitted for an employee on an approved Duke disability. Human Resources will process the necessary payroll form after coordination with the disability vendor. The department will receive a copy of any processed payroll form for an employee on Duke Disability. This is important because the employee runs the risk of receiving an overpayment from the disability vendor when in fact he has already returned to work. Only HR should be removing an employee from a disability leave status.
