If you’re able to recover from your illness or injury and return to the same type of work, your employer should give you the next available position. It’s important to note that your employer does not have to terminate the person who replaced you to give you your old job back. If you’re able to work a different type of job at the same workplace and a position is available, your employer may put you in that position.
