Yes. You have the right to resign or otherwise leave your position while on medical leave. Notably, the FMLA provides considerable flexibility for employees. While covered employees are granted up to 12 weeks of job-protected leave, they also have the right to end that leave early. Indeed, a worker even has the right to end medical leave and accept another job. If you have questions about your rights to leave a job while on medical leave, contact an experienced New Jersey employment discrimination lawyer for help.
