Paid medical leave only has to be granted if the employee is returning to work: if the employer will not return, the employer does not need to grant paid leave but can simply have the employee stop working. Employers don't need to pay people who are not going to remain employees. If the employee told the employer or led the employer to believe he or she would be returning, but either did not return or quit very shortly after returning, the employee committed fraud and the employer would have grounds to seek the money back.
