Yes you can be cut while on STD but it depends on what state you live in what can then happen to you. In California, STD is 1 year. In NY and NJ it is 26 weeks of STD then you would be cut. Not sure of LTD but you are already out of Novartis just receiving benefits.
 






I am w a different big pharma...and currently out on short term disability. My company is laying off and we should know who stays soon. That being said I CAN be laid off while on STD and lose the benefit! My company sent out some Q & A forms and that issue was covered. So, the situation sucks but that being said if u have a medical condition that warrants surgery do it NOW while u still have the benefit and a couple of months left. Many think u can not be laid off if on STD....maybe it varies from state to state, I don't know....Good luck to all.....
 






On the same idea...
if you look at the FLMA act in the Novartis Intranet you can be cut they put a clause in there saying that if there is a restructuring and you were not going to be kept then you will be let go and get your severance when you would normally come back from the FLMA.

I am pregnant and was hoping that FLMA might save my positon at least until after the baby is born so I could go interview. Kinda hard to look for a job 7 months preggo.

No luck no haven they can do what they want and if you take the severance no chance of a discrimination case either. I am going to pray for mercy but most likely I am gone. too many people with more tenure on my team. = (

Oh well could be worse could have a diagnosis of cancer. It really is just a job in the end we will land on our feet.

Good Luck I wish the best to everyone!!!
