Yes, in Massachusetts, an employee can be laid off while on short-term disability. However, the employer must comply with the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and any applicable state laws, ensuring that they do not discriminate against the employee for taking leave. It's important to understand that while being on short-term disability may provide some protections, it does not fully shield an employee from layoffs if the employer has legitimate business reasons. Employees should consult with an employment attorney for specific advice regarding their situation.
