Am I Still Employed While On Long Term Disability? You are employed as long as your employer does not terminate your employment. With some exceptions, employers can terminate an employee whenever they want, as long as the termination is not for a discriminatory purpose. Usually employers will not immediately terminate an employee who is on long-term disability. While they have the right to do so, it can be difficult for them to prove that the termination is not related to discrimination based on disability. Most employers will therefore allow the claimant to remain employed on an approved sick leave for up to two years. After two years, if the employee is permanently incapable of returning to work in any capacity, many employers will move to terminate.
