I'm sorry your post remains open for four weeks. There are a number of categories here and it isn't clear if things in the various categories are related to one another.

This will depend on the size of your employer and what services it provides. If your employer has more than 50 but fewer than 500 employees and you are not employed in a healthcare or emergency responder role, then you may be eligible for additional partially-paid leave to care for your children...

Arizona is an at-will state meaning, generally, you can terminate an employee for any reason, as long as it is not an unlawful reason. There aren't laws in place to protect you as an employer, only to protect the employee. The protections extended to employees generally involve terminations... View More

The answer is not a simple yes or no and it depends first on what your injury is, what your regular job is, where you were working when you were injured, who has been your treating doctor, who you believe was a "second opinion" doctor, and who the IME was. It is very rare in AZ to have an... View More

Hello, thanks for your inquiry. That's a good question - I would advise against looking for different work than what you are being offered. The nonprofit place is more likely to accept your limitations from the doctor who put you out on light duty and if not you have a direct contact to your... View More

You may be able to negotiate any penalty and a detailed review of the contract may be helpful.
