I have been off work on LTD for 6 years. Down the line when I am ready to return to work, is my employer generally required to take me back, since I am past the 2 year own occupation period? Or am I required to find a job outside of that employer?

Thank you.

If you are still an employee it will be a return to a similar position rather than your specific position.
