What are my employment reinstatement rights at Duke University or Duke Health System?
You have no employment reinstatement rights at Duke University and Health System after your approved 12-week Family Medical Leave ends. If your disability claim is denied (you have 60 days to appeal), contact Recruitment to reapply for employment at Duke. While you are on approved disability, vocational assistance is available from the disability rehabilitation case managers. However, if your disability benefit is terminated because you no longer meet the definition of disabled under the Plan, there is no guarantee of re-employment with the University or the Health System. You may contact Recruitment at 684-5600 so that your qualifications and skills can be compared to the requirements of current positions available at Duke.
