i doubt that either of those social workers knows what their caseload will be. vs i doubt that either of those social workers knows what her caseload will be.

Both phrases are correct, but they differ in the use of pronouns. The first phrase uses 'their' to refer to the plural noun 'social workers,' while the second phrase uses 'her' to refer to a singular noun 'social worker.' The choice between 'their' and 'her' depends on whether you are referring to the social workers collectively or individually.
